Rayne started the car and they went on their way, Lorena kept having this feeling that someone's watching but try shrugging it off and started talking with the rest

Rayne: I heard the place ya picked for the Unis is one of excelente quality! I just hope they have a size that fits me...

Clarice: Ah don't say that Rayne! Of course they do!!! You're just like any of us! Yeah you might be taller but you're still just like us! So cheer up!

Lorena: Yeah! She's right! And I knew where you were going with that too! Rayne you're not fat, and what if you're tall!? There's nothing wrong with that at all! We are all still the same here!

Marney: Yeah, besides I'm almost as tall as you! Stop thinking of yourself in a negative way Rayne

Clarice: Yeah! What Marney and Lora said!

Rayne blushed a little and really out of her norm and nature said

Rayne: Thank you

In a very muted tone and quickly changed the subject

Rayne: Anyway! The building renovations are comin' along smoothly, in around 2 day's it'll be ready for us to begin operations!

Lorena noticed what Rayne was trying to do and went along with it

Lorena: Yeah, I'm pretty excited to start making change! To spread and bring compassion to all!

Clarice didn't catch on and was confused with the sudden change in topic

Clarice: Um but what does the new building have to do with your beu- ah I mean figure?

Marney giggles a bit and looks at Clarice

Marney: Clarice, sweaty, catch a hint, that topic is over now

Clarice looked through the rear view mirror and saw Rayne's face a little reder than usual

Clarice: Ah, my bad

Rayne: Anyway, we're here!

Lorena looks out the window and stares at the store front before getting out of the car with excitement, the others get out as well and go inside the store to see no one was there

Marney: Hello? Anyone here?

Suddenly from the back of the store a mans voice was heard

???: I'll be there in a minute! Just doing the finishing touches on the uniforms!

Rayne: Aight, take ya time bud

Clarice starts looking around the store and is fascinated by the clothing items she sees

Clarice: OMG! THIS PLACE IS SO FRICKING AMAZING GUYS!!! HOW DID YOU GUYS HEAR OF IT!?!

Rayne giggles at Clarice's excitement

Rayne: Well, it's all thanks to Lora here! She's the one who found the place!

Marney: Is that so? Well you did a fantastic job Lorena! This place is very nice!

Lorena: Well glad you all like it!

Suddenly the owner of the store finally comes out and it's revealed to be a man with dark grayish hair and a long scar on his right cheek

???: Sorry I took so long guys! Welcome to The Boutique der Freiheit! Well the Boutique of Freedom in english! I'm Samael and I welcome you all to my store!

Lorena: It's great to see you again Sammy!

Samael: Ah Lora! It's been a while! I'm glad to see you're still doing well!
