Riza went back to Jean's apartment to pick her belongings. She was convinced that Roy loved her, and he never cheated. She searched for him throughout the house, and found him in his room.

"Jean?" She called as she saw him sitting on the bed with hands covering his face.

He was surprised to see her and instantly uncovered his face. "Riza? I- I thought you already went to your home?" He questioned as he wiped his tears that Riza seemed to notice.

"I left some things here and I don't want you to end up bringing them in my house." She paused as he stood. "You're crying?"

He lowered his head and looked away. "Uh... No... Actually, I'm... I'm happy for you, and for Roy." Tears started to appear again on his eyes.

She smiled. She walked closer and gently embraced him. "Thanks for being a good friend." She whispered on his ear and kissed him on his cheek. She slowly pulled away.

His eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect Riza to do that. But he managed to speak. "You're welcome." He simply said as he smiled.

She unhurriedly fixed everything and walked out of the room. "See you tomorrow." She said before she exited the place.

He was left alone in his room. But he didn't feel unhappy after all. "I guess I'm satisfied with that." He uttered as he gently stroked his cheek.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was already dark when Riza arrived at her house. She thought she had to call him. She dialed his phone number, but then decided to discontinue. She thought it would be informal to apologize through phone. She then heard Black Hayate barking again. "There's someone outside." She thought as she rushed to the door.

"Not again!" She uttered as she found black roses with thorns, drenched in poisonous liquid on her doorstep. This time, they were scattered all over the ground along with lots of notes. She picked up the papers first, but what was written on them were the same:

"You'll be dead."

She trembled on that note. Surely, someone wanted to kill her. She needed to be careful. She put on her gloves, picked all the trashes on the ground and threw them in the garbage can.

She sighed as she stared on the black roses. "I still want to live. I still have to apologize to him. I still want to have Roy back." There was silence. Then she got a good idea. "Flowers..." She happily said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, she didn't put on her usual blue military uniform. Instead, she wore a blue dress, and she let her hair down. She planned to go to a nearby flower shop to buy some flowers. "Maybe some flowers will make him feel good." She thought as she placed a gun in her bag. She needed to be careful because she could die anytime.

She strolled on the streets and soon found the flower shop. She saw Grace, the shop owner, and greeted her.

"Good morning Grace!" Riza called.

Grace, who was fixing some flowers, turned around and surprised to see Riza behind her. "Oh! Good morning, too, lieutenant!" She replied happily.

She chuckled. "You can call me Riza. By the way, I want to buy some flowers. Do you have any idea what flowers to give for apology?" Riza asked.

"Of course! I'm a flower expert. If you want, I can arrange some beautiful flowers for you." Grace said as she pulled her in her shop. "Let's get in."

It was a room filled with beautifully arranged flowers. Some were on bouquets, some were on baskets, and some were on vases. There was a table and two chairs where they sat.

"Here, have something to drink." Grace offered as she placed a cup of tea in front of her.

"Thanks." She sipped the tea, and then felt like something's unusual to the drink. It's delicious of course, but something else was blended in it.

"You might be wondering why it tastes different from the usual teas." Grace supposed. Riza nodded in response. "I mixed some nectar I extracted from flowers. Don't worry, it's safe to drink."

"You do love flowers, don't you?" Riza commented.

"Yeah! And I also love arranging them. So, where do you want the flowers to be placed?" She asked.

"Hmm... I think they'll look good in a basket. Besides, I'll give it to a man." Riza said.

"It's Roy, right?" Grace asked as she prepared some fresh flowers. She nodded.

Riza carefully watched as Grace fixed everything in the basket. She prepared thorn less red and white roses, pink azaleas, purple hyacinths, and white and blue hydrangeas. She thoroughly placed the red and white roses on the center, surrounded by azaleas and hydrangeas, and lots of hyacinths on the last layer.

"Wow!" Riza said in amazement.

Grace smiled. "It's not yet done. Wait here, I'll just get some ribbons." She said as she entered in a room nearby.

She stood and looked around. "This place is amazing." She uttered as she glanced at every flower around her. On a table nearby, she saw a vase with fresh white roses. "Beautiful..."

She stared at it for a long time. She lifted up the vase, but something behind it caught her attention. "What is this?" She picked up the small bottle containing a black liquid in it. She put down the vase and took a white rose. She opened the bottle and dropped a small amount of liquid on the rose petals.

"What the?!" She was bewildered by what she saw.

"Riza..." A voice called.

Riza turned around and saw Grace at the door, glaring at her.

"I never told you to just randomly touch anything in here." Grace said.

Riza looked at the rose, then to her. "Why didn't I realize it before?"

"Good observation, lieutenant."

"Now that I know, you wouldn't be able to hurt me anymore."

Grace smirked. "Yes... I know I can't hurt you... but what about the tea you drank before?"

Riza gasped, eyes widened with what she reminded. Her heart pounded very fast. "Poison? No! She mixed that with sleeping pills... Damn... Why didn't I notice it?! My gun..." She thought, but she then realized it was in her bag on the other table. She wanted to reach it, but too late, she felt dizzy, her sight soon turned blurry, her sense became drowsy, and she then unconsciously fell on the floor.

"Have a nice sleep, Lieutenant..."
