"Close the blinds!", yelled Professor Harrow, throwing his arms up in the air as Silas placed K375B on a table.

"Good job clearing the table quickly, Quinn", said Yukishiro.
Despite the chaos, he still wanted to give credit where it was due.

With Maya, Bennett and Azlan still in their lessons, the others had to try and fix K375B. This was proving to be a difficult task.

After all, it's almost impossible to fight an army of 3,000 soldiers with only 2 people.

Flipping her on her stomach, Professor Harrow pressed down on her neck, revealing a hidden compartment. A thin piece of glass raised up, and Professor Harrow placed his thumb on it. The biometric scanner turned green, and K375B stopped making noise.

The group huddled around Professor Harrow's computer. Silas and Professor Harrow scanned through all the coding and programming. Even Yukishiro, who was confused most of the time, managed to keep up and contribute.

Quinn just stared at the screen, a mixture of confusion and irritation appearing on her face. Quinn wasn't stupid, not at all. It just took her so much longer to understand things.

Silas could understand things instantly, whereas Quinn would need to take this data home and spend a couple of hours going through it. Even then she'd have to take the time to formulate some thoughts and ideas.

So it's safe to say she felt more than useless.

"This is stupid! I'm not staying here to fix that idiot's mistake", whined Quinn, pushing her chair back as she stood up.

Yukishiro frowned.
"Quinn, please don't go!"

But it was too late.
The girl had already stormed out. Knowing that they couldn't afford to lose another person, Yukishiro turned his attention back to the computer screen.

"Will K375B be ok?", asked Silas. His stomach churned with guilt.

Professor Harrow sighed.
"I don't know. When you pushed her she wasn't prepared. She's incredibly smart but she's practically still a baby in terms of social cues and communicating. It overwhelmed her. Caused her to, quite literally, break down."

Silas frowned, his eyes landing on K375B. He didn't have many friends, and kept himself to himself. But he cared deeply about the friends that he did have. He was just so excited that they finished a project this complex. All he wanted to do was understand her better. He never wanted to hurt anyone.

He just pushed too far.

Maya excused herself from her lesson, under the pretence of her needing to go to the toilet. Truthfully, Maya's diminishing hearing made it hard for her to understand what her teachers and peers were saying.

She walked through the halls, glancing at every poster, though she wasn't really taking any of them in. The faint sound of sobbing caught Maya's attention, despite it being so quiet.
