I was unsure of whether or not i wanted everyone's POV but once i started writing i really liked and had a lot of fun with it. (yes, this is why it took so long to upload this)

So, Here is part two to Reality:

Chapter One: A Eye in the Dark

~Robin~

Darkness. Robin had grown to hate it. Every time the lights turned off, she was out at night of even close her eyes; Robin was reminded that he was all alone. And it made her sad.

He was alone in the darkness. So she was alone too, in her own mind at least. And truthfully, she was.

No one believed her when she told her comrades that Amon was the cause of Area 51's destruction. The morning after she had promised Amon that she would save him they received a call from HQ congratulating them. No one knew what was going on until Robin told them.

They insisted that it was her who had done it and not Amon. Amon was dead they had said over and over until finally she gave up trying to convince them.

It didn't matter what they thought, she would prove them wrong later.

Robin sat at her computer, in her own little world because everyone let her alone. She supposed that they thought something was wrong with her, but she didn't care. Robin liked having that privacy.

Having had no breakthrough in the cases she had been working on, Robin rested her head on the desk and fiddled with her red pendent, swaying it back and forth to the time of the faint sound of music emitting from Michael's headphones.

Everyone else was who knows where, they didn't tell her much anymore.

Going into one of her usual thoughts, she wondered about the place Amon was in. What was he doing? Did he eat? Did he have to? Was he warm? Could he feel warmth? There was so much she didn't know. She sighed letting her breath swing the pendent back and forth like that of a hypnotist.

It wasn't like she had ever known much about Amon but she did always know that he was safe, or at least she was able to see him and be with him. She now recognized the feeling of warmth that she had when he was near as something more than what she had previously thought. Whether it be simple admiration or maybe romantic feelings she did not know, but she did know that it was love. Robin idly brought the pendent to her eye and peered through. Amon was very important to her and she would not let him go.

In her mind's eye she could picture him laying in the darkness, alone. Robin blinked and realized that she actually was seeing him! Through the pendent she saw him, to make sure she looked away at the clock and looked back and confirmed it. Even though he was beyond her reach, he was there. And he was safe.

~Dojima~

The young blonde yawned and began watching a bird flying from tree to tree. She was supposed to be on stakeout and probably should have been paying attention to the house she was watching but that didn't really matter. She began daydreaming about who's who celebrities and new fashions despite a nagging feeling at the back of her mind.

And for better judgment, the nagging became a thought. Being that she and Robin were roomies now, which was super awesome until recently, she had knowledge on things that the others didn't. Before they had gone to America, that turned out a lot less fun then she'd imagined, Robin had been cheery and fine and happy even with what had happened with Amon. But then they were there and she changed. Maybe before then she denied anything had happened and the denial along with all those weird things going down there caused her to say and believe what she did. She had gone on about how Amon was the one who took care of things there and that he was alive and she would help him come back, none of it made any sense. Well, when the rest of them told her that he was dead and none of that could of happened, she took it hard. She guessed that Robin had to finally face the truth that he was gone, but she wasn't a psychiatrist so, hell, what did she know?

Anyway, Robin cried a lot and shut herself in her room for days. It surprised Dojima at first because she hardly thought of her as her actual age, she always seemed so mature, it truly was an appropriate reaction though. At least she thought so, but she wasn't entirely sure.

Well, after all the crying was done, she still wasn't right. Like she was obviously still very sad about it and would walk around in a daze and when it came to work of telling her anything it was as if it just wasn't clicking right in her head. It was sort of like she had her own world and when others entered it, it was confusing or weird and it bogged her down? Now she was relating Robin to a computer, Michael was beginning to rub off on her.

Overall, it was hard for anyone to get through to her so they gave up trying. Not giving up trying completely but it was becoming too much work to simply tell her about a hunt and have her come along to execute it. Robin was a bit different at home, but she wouldn't talk about Amon, she was more talkative and semi cheery.

Dojima knew that she should do something about it, but everything she tried failed and she was running out of ideas. Hopefully Robin would just get over it.

"Oh!" Somebody was leaving the building! Quickly she called Miho and told her. She sighed. Now that there was going to be a hunt, she would come home later than usual and she would miss her show.

~Karasuma~

Karasuma stared at her watch impatiently and tapped her foot. Not only did that morning give her a serious headache, having to deal with a depressed, what was the name for it now? Emo? Yes, that was it. Having to deal with their emo teenager was much more than this woman wanted to handle.

And now she had to wait for her partner, who decided it would be a great time to take of work for some video game release, to report to her before a possible hunt that he promised he'd go on if it happened.

Yes, if it happened. Yurika was on scene currently to see which way it would fall. Know her, she probably wasn't paying any attention and would let the witch slip by.

Today was not her day.

~Sakaki~

It was awesome. He had waited months for this game to come out. And it was finally here! So he had to skip out a day of work, Ms. Karasuma would chew him out later for this (yuck), but it was well worth it.

Lucky Michael. He preordered it. That bastard. Sakaki was surely going to destroy him tonight on it's online play to get even.

After stopping at his house to drop the game off, he hurried to Harry's where he told their leader he'd meet her. The moment he saw her face, though, he wished he had stayed home.

~Michael~

Michael's days were always good. Full of the fun of maintaining protection on all of the STN-J's servers, hacking sites he happened to come by, and leveling up in World of Warcraft when the chief and Ms. Karasuma weren't looking he enjoyed his pretty awesome life.

Of course, there was that thing with Robin. She was down lately and he worried about her. Though he kinda wished she would get over Amon already. He felt bad about thinking that because he knew he partially thought that because he wanted her to get over their fallen leader and move onto him.

But that new game was coming in today and he was going to cream Haruto.

All of a sudden Robin shook his shoulder and was saying something, he couldn't hear her because of his loud music. He took out his earphones and listened, surprised that she was talking at all, let alone with such excitement. "Michael, look through this and what do you see?" She asked, forcing her pendent into his hands.

Michael shrugged and put the red stone up to his eye. "I don't see anything."

Robin's face fell. "Really?"

"Red."

"Oh, that's what I meant." She said somberly. Obviously that was not what she meant.

Was I supposed to see something?
