Atoli's POV

Raindrops stung my skin as I walked the streets of Mac Anu. I was soaked in the rain. My right arm was decorated with painful blue blotches; my staff was full with minor scratches, and my clothes were torn into small pieces, so I think I was half-naked.

"This is so embarrassing; what will he say to me?" I whispered under my breath as I continued to walk. After our-his rescue to Shino, they have been together since then, ignoring his guild Canard, which was now hugely famous and now has its own Area, and he left his responsibility and duty to his trustful members, Silabus and Gaspard. Because the AIDA was now and forever gone, Kuhn can now retire from his job, and obviously spend the rest of his time flirting other girls. Pi and Yata are now together. The twins, Saku and Bo, are trying to get along. The rest are now living in peace but not me.

As I was about to enter inside The Dome, I heard a familiar voice echoed through the distance. It was dark because of the rain, so I can't see who was calling. I continued walking inside The Dome. As I entered inside, several people were inside, almost all the residents in Mac Anu. Some were standing, some were sitting, some were sleeping, and some were chatting with each other. All of them were compressed so all of them can fit inside. They looked comfortable. I suddenly reminisced why I look so beaten. We were leveling up for the next tournament, when…

...flashback...

"Why can't you leave me alone, you damn girl?" he shouted angrily as he tried to break my grasp at him.

"I can't! I told you, I won't leave you, whether you like it or not! I promised myself that, and I won't break that promise. Never!" I exclaimed as I hugged him more tightly.

But he finally broke my grasp. "I don't care what you promisedas long as I have Shino, I don't need you. She's everything I wanted so get the hell out of here!"He shouted furiously.

"But I-oh!" I paused as he grabbed my dress and started tearing it apart into small pieces. "W-what are you doing?" I shouted as he continued to tear my dress into small pieces.

"Why can't you grow up?" he shouted, still ripping my dress. He started tearing my stockings.

"HASEO!" I shouted as I slapped him on his right cheek. I'm not sure if it's painful enough, but it did stop him from tearing my clothes.

He was still clutching my dress even when he stopped tearing it. He seemed to relax, though. His eyes drooped all of a sudden. He sighed heavily. "I'm sorry." he apologized. I could've smiled at his apology, but the next thing he said made me frown instead. "but Shino is, and always will be, the reason why I'm here. She's also the real reason why I defeated AIDA and Cubia. But I…"

He didn't finish his sentence when I break his grasp at my dress, which was now torn into pieces. "She's the reason why you're here? You selfish jerk!" I shouted furiously, throwing my arms out. "SHE'S the reason YOU'RE here? She's not the only person why you're here, Haseo." I said. I tried to fight away my tears so it won't flow out, but my eyes were already sore. "You'renot the only person who defeated AIDA and Cubia, a lot of people were helping you defeating those viruses; Silabus, Gaspard, Kuhn, Yata, Pi, Sakubo, Endrance, Alkaid,"-I cringed at the last name; she's one of the people I'm jealous of-"ALL the people in Mac Anu, Dol Dona, and even in Breg Epona, were helping you defeat the viruses. EVERYBODY helped, but all you can think is Shino and yourself! Don't you even know how many people care about you? Don't you know that there is one person who really cares about you, who would do anything-everything- to protect you?"my sentence trailed off as my eyes were now flowing with tears. I sobbed uncontrollably, my hands on my face.

Haseo walked closely, but I ran before he could touch me. I leave him standing there, my eyes still swelling with tears.

...end of flashback...

I cried as I remembered what had happened. I covered my face with both of my hands. I can't control my sobbing; they just flow out from my eyes against my will. I sat down on the cemented floor involuntarily. I'm not sure who was beside me, but I felt somebody tugging my distorted dress. When I removed my hands away from my face and glanced around, it was Bo who was tugging my dress.

"What are you doing here?" he asked with concern.

"I was about to ask the same thing but, what are all the people in Mac Anu doing here?" I asked.

"Well"his sentence trailed off as he scratched his head nervously.

"'Well'? Tell me!" I pleaded.

"I'm not supposed to tell you it'll make you mad." he said with droopy eyes. "It might make you upset.

"Tell me. I swear whatever you will tell; I won't be mad at you, no matter how horrible it is." I assured him.

"Well, if you say so. But don't get mad at me for saying it!" he said.

"I won't." I promised.

"Okay, were you wondering why all the people are in here?" he asked.

"I already asked that." I reminded him.

"Oh okay. They're-we're here because there will be a huge celebration outside to be held at Breg Epona." He explained.

"In Breg Epona? But why are we waiting here in Mac Anu?" I asked curiously.

"Because the newly-weds will be marching from here in Mac Anu, to Dol Dona, until in Breg Epona." He said. "I don't really know what's so special about it."

"I think it is," It really isn't. "but who are the newly-weds?" I asked.

There was an awkward silence in The Dome, only the chatters of the other people inside. Bo's eyes widen. "Uh…"

"Bo" I said suspiciously. "Who will get married?"

He gulped a huge amount of air. "Haseo…. and Shino."he said in a tiny voice.
