Meanwhile, George, Bradley, and Angie were walking through the streets of Negi Root City. Until they come across a white house with a green roof.

General: There's the house.

Bad Boy: It looks cozy.

Agitation: Let's see if anyone's home.

She looked through a window. There were 2 kids with blonde hair and green eyes enjoying some kind of beverage together. One kid was a boy, and the other was a girl.

Agitation: Where are their parents?

Bad Boy: Dunno. They're probably working.

Angie knocked on the door. A minute later, the girl answered it.

???: Hello.

Agitation: Um, hi.

???: Who are you?

Agitation: I'm Angelica d'Aglior, but you can call me Angie or Agitation. Agitation's my module name. These are my friends: the man with the red eyes is George Nadler, or General, and the blonde-haired one is Bradley Hillary, or Bad Boy.

???: Modules?

General: Yes. All 3 of us are made into a video game. Module is basically another word for outfit or costume.

???: Oh, okay.

Agitation: Are you new here?

???: Yes. I arrived here with my twin brother a few days ago. We lived out in the streets for like a month until we finally found this abandoned house.

Bad Boy: Oh dear.

Agitation: Your brother? Can we please see him?

???: I don't know if that's a good idea. He's pretty sick. Well, I am too, but not as much as he is.

General: We don't want to catch what you have.

???: Oh, don't worry. My illness is not contagious. I've been sick with this for about 3 years.

Agitation: What's your name?

???: My name is Soleil DuBlois.

Bad Boy: I feel like I've heard that name before. Are you a painter?

Soleil: Yes. And my brother is a pianist.

Agitation: A pianist? Listen, did your brother make this song?

She handed Soleil an MP3 player. After a few minutes, Soleil gave the MP3 back.

Soleil: Yes. It's his most recent song.

Agitation: We need to talk to your brother.

Soleil: I told you. He's pretty sick.

Agitation: We'll make it quick. Please?

Soleil: Fine. Come on in.

She let the 3 other modules inside.

Bad Boy: Nice fireplace.

Soleil: Thank you. We're happy this house had one.

Angie spots the boy sleeping on the bed.

Soleil: I'll wake him up, if you want me to.

She gently rubbed the boy's back, waking him up.

Soleil: There are some people wanting to talk to you about your song.

???: (in a scared whisper) W-Who are you?

Agitation: What did you say? I'm afraid I can't hear you.

???: I said "Who are you".

Agitation: I still can't hear you. Speak up.

???: I can't.

Agitation: Why not?

???: I just can't.

Angie thought this boy was making her very...agitated. Without thinking, she raised her balled-up fist and grabbed the sick boy by the collar of his shirt.

Agitation: Speak louder, kid, or I'll make you!

Bad Boy: Angie, what are you doing?!

General: Stop!

Soleil: You're scaring him!

Agitation: Well, good! He has a right to be scared. He won't tell me anything. His voice is so soft that I can't hear him!

Soleil: Angie, I want you and your friends to leave. I don't want you hurting my brother anymore.

Agitation: Fine.

She let go of the boy's shirt. But her fist remained the same. Without warning, she punched him in the stomach, making him cough.

Bad Boy: Angie!

General: We'll get her out of here, Soleil.

Soleil: Leave, and don't ever come back.

The 3 members of Mindsets left the house.


Angie, you better apologize to my baby right now! I'll end the chapter here. See you guys in the next one.
