My Missing Piece... [ Detroit Become Human ]

Chapter 1: ~Nothing Ever Changes~

( In a dark alleyway... There were three teenagers. All looked scared, yet still keeping a straight face. They had their backs attached; as if they were being cautious of something.

A boy with glasses slightly turned his head to his right, and whispered to the other two )

??: We have to think of something or we won't be able to get out.

??: Yeah, no shit! Sherlock.

*Flash*

( Four teenagers were in a burning house, all of them trying to help the people inside. Suddenly a piece of the upper floor fell, making a dead-end for the four.

The African American teenager started panicking as she looked behind and there was nothing but a wall )

??: We need to get out of here!

( She yelled out, making two of the teenagers look backs at her, as the remaining one stared at the broken floor with a frustrated look on their face )

??: We're surrounded!

*Flash*

??: SCAR!

Nicole's POV

( The world... What can I say? Even in Detroit, the android capital city... I'm surprised that my prediction of the world came true... )

( Leaving everything behind didn't change a damn thing. Everyone knows the truth about the world.. Dark and cold...

People are just who they are... Harsh and violent... Unfair and silent... Brutal and fake... )

( But for this brief moment... I only felt one thing... Peace... Something I rarely felt...

I was surrounded by silence and calmness, as I felt a gust of wind on my back from the giant window behind me... I could feel my heart beating... The sun's rays gently touch my skin... And also the fresh scent of paint in the air.

I almost forgot where I was, as I jumped back to reality.. )

??: So?

( The harmonizing silence was broken by the voice of an old man who was waiting for my answer, seated in his wheelchair )

??: What's your verdict, Nick?

Nicole: I have no idea...

( I said with a soft chuckle and a low voice )

??: Just... Tell me what you feel while looking at this painting. And be honest.

( He said with a sigh )

( I sighed as well and started to examine all the details of the huge painting in front of me, which was mostly in shades of blue and black colors. Honestly, it was really beautiful... I could look at it for hours and get lost in the beauty of it.. )
