Location: Wall Market Inn
Time: 10:10 A.M.

I groggily wake up due to some noisy neighbors next door. I look outside the bedroom's window to see daylight already shining. "Shit!" I throw the blanket off of myself as I jump out of bed preparing myself for the day. I leave the Inn thinking of a plan to get topside.

"Maybe one of the trio knows . . ." I cross out Andrea Rhodea since he's a busy man. He probably doesn't have time to be helping some random merc get topside.

"Maybe Chocobo Sam?" I shake my head no. "Sam even said so himself, he doesn't want anything to do with me so . . ." I clap my hands together when I finally found my answer. "Madam M! She doesn't hate me! So, she might help me get topside!"

"Security's tight these days, so good luck with that," Madam M shrugs

"Security's tight these days, so good luck with that," Madam M shrugs. "But as such, if you're that desperate, then you can ask the slum lord himself."

"Corneo?" I frown. "That man sure has his connections so . . ."

"Well, off you go," Madam M gestures for me to leave. "There is a customer and they must not be kept waiting."

Madam M turns her back, leaving but the thought about my scars arises in my head. "Wait! Madam M!"

"Yes? What is it now?" Madam M rolls her eyes impatiently.

"Did you tell Shinra anything about me?" I lean towards her right ear as my voice goes down to a whisper. "Like anything regarding to my scars?"

Madam M suddenly bursts out in laughter, as she slowly calms down by fanning herself. "That's the funniest thing I've heard in long time!"

I squint at Madam M, skeptical if she's telling the truth or not. "So?"

"Of course not, Celeste," Madam M shakes her head. "I wouldn't betray girl code. And even if Shinra did pay me to get info on you, what would I get out of it? Money? I work at a hand massage parlor - a respectable establishment, where if you don't require our services, then fuck off."

I gape at Madam M - seemingly I sense that she's telling the truth. "Sorry Madam M," I apologize. "I know you're a good person, it's just I've been a little jumpy about who I can trust or not.
