[Perspective change: Second Person]

　"Listen, Don't do dumb stuff like that again, Not everyone's out to actively hurt you. Understood?" Inochi said, Lecturing you. "Anyway, why the hell are you sleeping on the roof?" Asked Inochi. "I..." Before you can even answer Inochi speaks up "I know, It's cause you don't have a house right?"

　"Look, i-i do!" Said yourself, annoyed at the Backpacker. "... Whatever, Look I'll give you a job for money, how about that?" Noppo walked and loomed above Inochi, both facing you, waiting for your answer. "I-i..."

　Suddenly your head Throbbed painfully, as though someone stuck a knife into your brain. For a short second, you felt the sheer pain. "Ngh!" You drop to the floor hand on ground and knees flat on the concrete.

　"Hey?" Inochi stepped back. As soon as the pain left your senses, you stood back up and pretend you were fine. "A-ah nothing..." You pause, scratching the back of your head. "Job..?" Inochi and Noppo shared gazes. "Yeah." Inochi paced around before coming to a stop.

　"Listen, me and my" Inochi clears his throat mid-sentence. "*Ahem* friend here, need someone to rely on for navigation." He paused, took his hand and gripped his bag's strap. "We received an order to protect this place, and we need someone to help us knowing exactly what this place is, so if there's an emergency we'd be able to reach it easily."

　You paused, looking at Inochi and Noppo, disdain in your eyes. "Now... Why would you want to protect this place?" Scoffed yourself. ".. It's orders that I've received, it's not like I get to choose my missions."

　"Well, were wasting time here. if you don't want to join then I'll leave you be." Inochi tightens the strap of his bag, as he began walking off. "Come on Noppo". You held your hand out, reaching towards Inochi who's already a fair distance away from you.

"Wait!" You said. "I-ill do it." Inochi stops and looks back. "Good." He approached you, Seemingly, he seemed calmer. "Then, Shall I explain it along the way?"  He held out his hand, Offering you to follow. You refused the offer and simply nodded. Inochi steps back. "Alright.. follow me then."
