Episode 13: Tell Me.

"Richter...?"

Pit called out to him, although he still pondered what would happen if he made that call to his grandfather.

"I mean... you got what you need right? It shouldn't be a problem." Pit offers.

 "If these people aren't supposed to be here and he finds out about it he'll be pissed."

Richter sounded scared. Just straight up in fear. Pit's never seen him like this, neither even hearing about his grandpa in such a way. He didn't know what he could do.

"What if we don't tell him?" Pit offered.

To both, it sounded wrong as well. The people sounded like some crazy cult in there and to stay silent about it seemed morally wrong. Especially right now with everything going on.

Richter thought for a moment. Pit could only wonder why he didn't want his grandfather to know, or more specifically why he didn't want him upset. He wanted to ask, but he figured it would just add to the stress Richter was facing at the moment.

Pit watched as Richter made his decision, turning off his phone shoving it back in his pocket.

He wouldn't call him.

"Ah, okay. Okay, its fine, Richter don't worry about it," Pit said truthfully, offering a smile to the taller one.

"Sorry... it's wrong but... it's just a selfish reason..." Richter's voice gets quieter as he goes on.

"Then let's get out of here."

The two grab their belongings in a short moment and get ready to leave. Pit begins to walk out until he realizes Richter doesn't follow. Pit stops.

"Richter?"

"Just making sure... they didn't hear us right? I mean it was pretty loud in there right?"

Pit stops to think.

"I uh... I mean even if they did it's not like they saw us right?"

"I guess not."

"Yeah... let's just go, yeah?"

"Yeah... yeah, god lets get out of here."

"Honestly, I'm glad Ike had to go somewhere today..." Palutena says. She sits behind the steering wheel waiting for the red light to turn green, as Rosalina sits beside her with Roy sitting in the back.

"It's gonna be awkward anyway... I mean it's Samus." Rosalina comments.

"Yeah, you know, our 'friend' that randomly left us without a single word," Roy adds.

The three were on their way to Zelda's house after hearing that Samus had come down from Zelda. It was a surprise to them, but what made them have to get there immediately was Zelda's almost frantic voice asking them to get there.

"Anyway... uh, how are you guys? Is Daisy getting any better?"

"She's talking more... I think they have to do some physical therapy thing soon." Roy says. out of the corner of Palutena's eye, she can see Rosalina slightly sink in her seat.

"Well, it's progress, Roy. By the way, can you call Pit? I texted him a little while ago but he hasn't answered."

"He and Richter went somewhere."
