"Are you sure you're ready to go?"

The chestnut haired girl looked back at the doctor who was sending her off to her new place. Her face lacked any emotion as she answered his question.

"Yeah."

Then she carried the violin case on her back as she took a step forward. She wore a black long sleeved shirt and some comfy pants. She had a piece of paper in her glove-covered hand with an address written in it. She stared at it intently as she observed the address. It was somewhere in District 12, and it's a bit far from her previous home. She folded it neatly and kept it in her pocket.

It was actually 7 o'clock in the morning. Heaven Canceller stared at the young lady in front of him. She looked like an average middle school girl, but in reality, she's far from normal. She's the third strongest esper in Academy City who was feared by her title alone. Her name is Misaka Mikoto, also known as the Railgun.

The doctor breathed out a sigh and squeezed the girl's shoulder gently. He had a worried look on his face as the girl turned around to meet his gaze.

"Please take care of yourself."

Mikoto smiled at the old doctor for his concern. Her gaze turned distant as she replied.

"I think I won't be able to keep that as a promise, but I'll try."

She wore a cap on her head to hide her face as she walked off. Then the kind doctor retreated his hand as he watched the girl off to her destination. It has only been a month and a few weeks since the day that he took care of this girl, but she already had a place in his heart and treated her like his own daughter. Seeing her walk away battered and broken hurt him deep inside. He felt like she was his responsibility, but he couldn't do anything to stop her from treading the wrong path. That's why he was hoping that some people would lead her back to who she used to be, back to the days were everything was basking in warm light. He turned his back as he headed back to the hospital. He still had a lot of work to do.

A few minutes has passed as Mikoto arrived at her destination. It was a large white building. She took a step forward as she walked to the guard who was monitoring the facility. The guard noticed her and greeted her cheerfully.

"Hello there! How can I help you?"

'This is... weird.'

Mikoto thought as she noticed the guard's behavior. For someone who encountered life threatening situations, he was a jolly man. She shook off the thought and brought out a card from her pocket. She gave it to the guard and he stared at it intently. Then he smiled a cheerful grin as he kept the card inside a drawer. He brought out another card and gave it to her. She accepted it as she reached her hand gingerly.

"You're good to go, miss! Please take this with you and proceed to the main office. You'll meet the old man there."

"Thank you."

Then she opened the electronic door with the card and entered the building. It was quite spacious as she stared at the walls. Then she reached an elevator and went up to the highest floor to meet with the head. After a beep, the elevator door opened and she saw a lounge. It must be a waiting room for the guests. Then she proceeded to the door next to the room. She knocked on the door and a voice replied from inside the room.

"Please come in."

Then she opened it silently and peeked through the opened door. She was met by the sweet aroma of coffee as she stared awkwardly.

"Uh... Um..."

She saw a gray haired old man who was brewing some coffee on a machine. He stared back at her for a while, then smiled kindly.

"Oh, so you're the doctor's kid. Please sit down."

Then she removed her cap from her head and entered the room completely. She sat on one of the couches in the room. The room looked like something she didn't expect. It was more like an apartment rather than an underground organization's main office. She continued to stare around the room as the old man sat on the other couch opposite her. A table separated them as he smiled at her.

"How's my office? Did it suit your liking?"

Mikoto stared at the man who was sipping some coffee.

"I think it's great, uhh..."

Then the man retreated his cup and placed it on the saucer. He chuckled silently as he scratched the back of his head.

"How rude of me, I think that old man didn't mention my name... How forgetful of him."

Then he stood up and straightened his clothes. He extended his hand in front of her as he introduced himself.

"I'm the head of this organization, Yoshitaka Hideki. You can call me anything you want. It's nice to finally meet you, Misaka Mikoto-kun."

She hesitantly stood up and reached for his hand, then the man smiled once again. After the handshake, they sat down on the couch as a friendly atmosphere filled the room. Then he cleared his throat as he tried to start a conversation.

"I'm sorry for putting you into this, but my company is in a bad shape. We really need your help."

He smiled awkwardly as he lifted his cup to drink again. Mikoto find him really strange, because he didn't act like someone who's into shady business. He looked like a normal old man who was supposed to enjoy his retirement, but ended up working instead.

"It's okay. If this is the only way I'll be able to pay you for 'this', then I think I wouldn't have any problems."

She was pertaining to her fully covered mechanical arm. Yoshitaka smiled and placed his cup down.

"What do you think of our product? Is it nice?"

Then she moved her arm slightly and stared at it.

"It's great. I like those modifications that you did into this, and I'm impressed."

"I'm glad you like it."

Then he brought out a file from under the table and read it.

"Hmm... You'll be living here as you work, so please feel at home. Your room is in the floor below here, and it's number 124."

Then he flipped a page as his brows furrowed.

"And you'll be having some teammates for the job. Is that okay with you?"

He lifted his gaze and stared at the girl. Mikoto replied without looking back at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine with that."

"So after this, you can fix your things in your room, then after an hour you will be meeting them in this room. They're a handful bunch, please be patient with them."

Mikoto couldn't help but stare at this man. She couldn't understand him. It felt like he shouldn't belong to this world, but she thought it's not good to judge other people without knowing them thoroughly. She focused her mind and asked about the situation.

"Yoshitaka-san, I heard that you hired me because your company is being attacked by your competitors. Have you known who's the culprit?"

Then he chuckled awkwardly after he finished his coffee.

"Straight forward, eh? I still don't know who it was, and I think you would be able to help us pinpoint them to stop this turmoil."

"Then I guess I'll need to work on that."

Then Yoshitaka stood up and walked near the window. He had a sad smile on his face as he gazed outside with distant eyes.

"I don't want to lose anyone again, especially those children."

Then he stared back at Mikoto who had an unreadable expression on her face. It was a mixture of shock and something indescribable. She felt her lips tugging into another twisted grin, but she prevented it from showing. She tried to muster a vague facial expression to hide the weird feeling that was bubbling in her chest. Something about this man never failed to bewilder her, but it also pissed her to an extent. She kept all of her thoughts inside as she stared back at him.

Suddenly, the humble old man did something unexpected. He bowed his head with his torso to express his wish. His hands curled into fists as his arms rested on his side.

"So please, help me. Help us."

Then the bubbling feeling abruptly disappeared. She let her weak self take over her. She glanced away as she held her forehead on her palm, her fingers clutching on her hair. Something warm and painful flooded in her chest as she felt her tears form in her eyes. She gritted her teeth as she tightly shut her eyes.

Yoshitaka stared at her with a worried expression. He was a bit shocked from her reaction as he lifted his face from his earlier action. He suddenly remembered that Heaven Canceller once told him that this girl was a special case, and she should be handled with extra care. He stepped closer to the young girl and asked worriedly.

"Are you alright..?"

"I don't understand you..."

She opened her eyes but she didn't look at him. She just stared in front of her with distant eyes as she opened her quivering lips once again to continue her answer.

"...But if that's what you want, then I'll do my best."

Her grip on her hair tightened as her chest constricted. Something desperately clawed at the back of her head, waiting to be released. The 'sensation' in her head wanted to fight for her and to be strong for her, but she didn't want 'it' to come out and take her place at this moment. She can feel that the man named Yoshitaka Hideki needed her help, and she couldn't decline.

They were standing on the same plane.

But the way on how they handle things was the wall that separated them.

She was a bit envious of this man, because it was easy for him to ask help from others. Unlike her, who carried everything alone on her battered back.

The man approached her and patted her head. She glanced up from the sudden action and tearfully stared at him. She was greeted by a gentle smile and some reassuring words.

"I don't know what you're feeling right now, but I'm glad that you decided to help us. I want to thank you for accepting my request."

Then she slowly regained her composure as she wiped her teary eyes. She stood up from the couch and carried her things with her.

"I guess I'll just rest for a while... I'll be back for the meeting."

"Sure. Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, I'm okay. I can handle myself."

Then she walked out of the room, leaving the old man by himself. He held his chin as he thought deeply. He somewhat regretted involving a young girl like her in this situation, especially from what he saw earlier. But this was his only chance. He needed to save his 'family' with her help, and he will save her in return. He will do it not because his friend asked for his assistance, but because that girl needed his guidance. Misaka Mikoto was lost, and he will aid her to bring her back. He might not be able to completely bring back who she was with just his help alone, but he will be the first step for those people who would eventually do the job completely. Even if the situation is a bit unfavorable for her condition, he will mold her back to her original state.

He breathed out a sigh as he picked up his empty cup to refill it.

"Heaven Canceller, I think you're dumping me with tedious workloads again... But I guess it's not that bad if I'll be of help to someone."

Then he was left to think for himself in his casual-looking office with a cup of coffee in hand.

Misaka Mikoto sat on her bed with her knees in front of her chest. She didn't know what she was feeling earlier. The clawing sensation in the back of her head was struggling desperately. She held her head protectively as she tried to stifle her sobs and tightly shut her eyes.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms rest on her shoulders and circled around her upper body from behind. It was gentle, and it might just be her imagination. But she didn't struggle from its grasp, she just remained silent and leaned on the cold sensation on her back. The desperate clawing in her head stopped as the sensation itself took form in her conscious mind.

"Why did you resist me earlier?"

The voice rested its head on her shoulder. It didn't sound angry or anything, it's more like it was begging for an answer. Mikoto moved her hands away from her head and placed it on her knees. Her fists clenched tightly as she desperately seek for an answer.

The voice sighed and hugged her tighter. It felt like it was there, but it wasn't truly there. Or was it? She didn't know. It would just appear if she needed some strength in a hopeless situation, making everything seem easier. But it was showing up more often lately, and it would take her place when she felt weak. She opened her eyes and gazed forward. She didn't need to look at the voice on her back, they're just the same person afterall.

"I told you that I'll be here for you, right? Even if the world would hate you, I won't. I know that our actions had an effect on you, but please bear with it. I don't want to hurt you, but it's the only choice we have."

"But..."

She finally stared at the being who was resting on her shoulder. It had the same chestnut colored hair and fair skin. It's hazel eyes glowed in the darkness as it smiled a twisted and frightening grin. It sneered closer to her face and stared at her dead eyes.

"...You could only say that because we are one, right?"

Then it snickered as it grinned wider. They just continued to stare at each other closely without breaking eye contact.

"Yeah, that's the point. You can only rely on me, on yourself, so that we would continue to exist together..."

Then it moved to whisper her the words that sounded like music to her ears.

"...and perish together."

Then a smirk crept on Mikoto's face that mirrored the being that was leaning on her ears. She embraced it in return and held it's chin. She leaned closer to its face until their foreheads touched. It giggled from their close proximity as it's arms circled around her neck in a lovingly manner.

"Yeah, you're right."

Then the whole hour passed by quickly as 'they' savored each other's embrace. Mikoto headed to the door as her other self disappeared and went back to were it belong. She straightened her clothes before she completely went out of the room with a vague expression on her face.

"I guess the usual cast is here."

A blonde girl wearing a short skirt sat comfortably on the couch. She had an arrogant look on her face as she stared at the awkward bunch in front of her.

"Oh, we will have a new teammate, right? It has been a long time since pops here adopted another family member."

A black haired teenager smiled cheerfully as he rested the back of his head on his arms in a lax manner. He wore a red shirt under an unbuttoned black winter uniform.

"Hmm... I wonder what she's like."

A big man in his thirties held his chin in a thinking gesture. His brown spiky hair stood on its ends like stalagmites in a crystal cave.

"You kids should just wait. She'll arrive soon."

Yoshitaka Hideki stood behind a couch with a kid sitting on it. She had a notebook in her hand as she scribbled on a page. After that she showed the note to the other residents and they read it.

It read 'I wish she's a nice person.'

Yoshitaka smiled and patted the little girl's head. She smiled sweetly as she joyfully accepted the action.

"Don't worry, she's a good kid. Just be careful with your words and actions though."

"Huh? Wha-"

"Speaking of the devil..."

The black haired boy was cut off by the sound of the door opening. From there came a chestnut haired girl with her hands in her pockets. She had a creepy aura around her, and her face lacked any emotion. She avoided eye contact with anyone in the room as she walked beside the old man who was smiling at her.

"Everyone, she's your new teammate. Mikoto-kun, please introduce yourself to them."

Mikoto just stared at the old man with a raised eyebrow, then he cleared his throat.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. Her personal information is a bit confidential, so it's not allowed to speak of it out loud. Just call her Mikoto for the time being."

The three other people in the room stared at her with wary and confused look. Suddenly, the small girl with a notebook approached her and showed her a page.

'I'm Yoshitaka Yui. It's nice to meet you, Mikoto nee-chan!"

Mikoto read the note carefully and noticed the little girl's surname. Yoshitaka chuckled as he held Yui's shoulders.

"She's my granddaughter, and she lost her voice in an incident. Don't worry, she's just here to meet you."

She nodded and looked back at the little girl. She had a sweet smile on her face as she looked up at the taller girl. Mikoto couldn't resist kids, that's why she knelt down in front of her. She patted her head and smiled tenderly.

"Un. Nice to meet you too."

The little girl brightened up and wrote again on her notebook. It said:

'Smile more. It suits you.'

Then Mikoto chuckled silently as she scratched her head. This girl was just too cute for her. She couldn't help but revert back on who she used to be in front of children.

"I'm sorry about that, but I guess I shouldn't do it that often."

"?"

The girl stared at her in confusion. Her gaze turned distant as she stood up from her position as a sad smile adorned her face.

"A lot of things happened, and I think I don't have the right to do that anymore."

Then the creepy aura came back around her and the little girl hid behind her grandpa. She was not afraid of her, but she just felt like it's better to step away from the older girl. The two guys from the group gulped from the sudden change in atmosphere. Suddenly, the blonde girl stood up and reached her hand. Mikoto stared at her hand with an unreadable expression.

"I'm Miyamoto Miharu. I've been here for two years, so that means I'm your senpai. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She shook hands with her as she stared the girl warily. The atmosphere turned tense as the two girls stared at each other. Miharu had a devious smile on her face while Mikoto stared at her with a sharp glare. As they retreated their hands, the blonde crossed her arms around her chest and questioned her.

"I wonder, Mikoto-san. Why is it that your personal information, even your name, is treated as confidential? I'm just curious, though."

"Oi, Miharu."

The spiky haired man scolded her. She just ignored him and stared arrogantly at the newcomer. Mikoto just breathed out a sigh and hid her hands in her pockets.

"It's none of your business. Yoshitaka-san accepted me here, and he offered to hide my identity. And you wouldn't believe it even if I tell you anyway."

The two girls glared at each other. Yoshitaka suddenly interjected as he felt that the atmosphere grew heavier by each passing second.

"Okay, Miharu-kun, Mikoto-kun, stop this. It's not good to start a fight with each other, especially that Yui is watching."

The two girls stared at him and calmed down immediately. Miharu sat back on the couch as she pouted like a child. Mikoto just stood on her position with a bored look on her face.

"Ahem. So I guess I'll finally introduce myself."

The spiky haired man bowed his head as he said his introductions.

"I'm Tsuguro Takehito. I forced Yoshitaka-san to put me in this job so that I'll be able to help him with his problems. I hope we'll get along."

Yoshitaka laughed silently from his words as he held Yui's small hands. The black haired boy suddenly stood up and pointed at himself.

"I'm Ueda Shigeru. I also forced Yoshitaka-san to let me work here so that I'll be able to repay him from everything that he did for us. I still had a little brother to care of, so I guess this job helped me a lot."

Shigeru said with a grin. Mikoto just stared at Yoshitaka who was smiling awkwardly from their introductions.

"They forced you?"

"Yeah, these kids are really persistent. Even though I don't want them to get hurt, they started spouting things like 'we're a family, right?!' and forced their way in. They trusted me with their lives, so I'll trust them in return."

Mikoto clenched her fists as her hair hid her eyes. She gritted her teeth as the other people in the room, except Yoshitaka, backed away.

"You..."

The old man just stood calmly in front of her. This made her feel more infuriated as an invisible static filled their senses.

"You involved them just like that? What are you going to do if they get heavily injured? Or worse, what if they died? Don't you care about that?! You're unbelievable...!"

Then a hand touched her shoulder. She jolted up and saw Yoshitaka smiling at her. Again. The four stared at the scene as they felt the tingling sensation hanging in the air. They didn't know what caused it, but it sent a chill down their spine. The old man gently squeezed her shoulder to calm her down, even though he could feel the surging static that coursed through his fingertips.

"I know that, that's why I asked for your help. With your power, you would be able to keep everyone safe. What more if everyone worked together? Then we will be an unformidable force that can shake any problem away. We will save each other, and no one will die. If people got hurt, no one's at fault. And I got the best doctor in the whole world as my friend. Don't worry, as long as we work together, no one will die."

Then a bulb exploded as blue electricity darted out of her. Everyone was surprised from the sudden crash as they prepared themselves for another attack. But Yoshitaka stood unfazed from his position, with determination burning in his eyes. Mikoto trembled from the man's words. She couldn't understand him.

"You think I would be able to save all of them? Don't fuck with me..."

Another light bulb exploded as she held her head. Shigeru was infuriated from her words as he abruptly stood between them.

"Hey you! How dare you speak to him like that!"

"Shigeru-kun, stop."

He glanced back at the old man with a surprised look.

"But she can't just talk to you like that, old man! She just-"

"That's why she's a special case, and I'm here, I mean we're here, to fix her."

"Huh?! What do you-"

"Take a look at her."

Shigeru looked back at her and observed her. He was shocked at what he saw. Tears fell freely on her face as she restrained her sobs.

She was crying.

"Wha..."

"No matter how strong I am, in the end, I couldn't save them. Because of me, a lot of them died. If I didn't give them my DNA map, this shouldn't be happening. If I couldn't even save my own sisters, how are you supposed to trust me in saving these people who I barely know?"

Then Yoshitaka breathed out a sigh. Shigeru stepped aside with confusion painted on his face. He couldn't understand anything that she said, but he could feel that something was wrong with her.

"But you're not alone right now."

"Eh?"

She snapped her head up and stared at the old man's eyes. It glowed a light that showed his maturity and experience. His eyes had been a witness from a lot of hardships in life, and she could see it. And she could feel 'it' again, clawing in the back of her head.

"You handled everything alone, right? You never tried to seek for help from other people. You might end up broken if you continued that way."

"Broken, huh..."

She repeated that word and turned her back. She weakly reached for the door and held the knob tightly. The tone of her voice changed into a calmer one as she opened it slightly.

"I really couldn't understand you, Yoshitaka-san, I guess I'll just let it go for now."

Shigeru, Miharu, and Takehito stared at her. She's the one they couldn't understand. They didn't know what to think of her from what they saw earlier. Yoshitaka just shook his head and smiled tiredly.

"You should rest for a while. And I left a notebook inside one of the drawers in your room. You could write anything that you want."

"Thanks."

The door was closed without her looking back. The people in the room breathed out a sigh of relief. It was so intense that they held their breaths for long. Yui stared at the door as she raised her notebook for everyone to see.

'Is she alright?'

She had a worried expression on her face as she waited for her grandfather's answer. Yoshitaka smiled as he knelt down in front of her.

"She'll be fine. She just needs to rest for a while."

Then Yui nodded, satisfied from his reply. Shigeru shivered as he felt a chill ran down his spine.

"She's scary..."

Miharu crossed her arms and questioned the old man about his decisions.

"Yoshitaka-san, why did you let a crazy girl like her enter this facility? We can handle everything without her."

Then Yoshitaka stared at her with a serious look on his face. It was rare to see him like this, and they all froze in their positions.

"She's not crazy, just a bit unstable. With the amount of power that she holds, I know that she could help us."

"Huh? What do you mean? Do you think she's really powerful?"

Takehito interjected in their conversation. Yoshitaka smiled as he stared at the broken pieces of glass that once formed the circular light bulb from the ceiling.

"She's restraining herself so hard, and the compensation for that were two light bulbs. I guess that's impressive enough."

Then he raised his twitching hand at eye level and showed it to the people around him.

"And look at my hand! I just touched her shoulder for a while, and I get all tingly with electricity!"

He exclaimed in an excited tone. Miharu stared at him with a raised eyebrow as she walked to the door. She excused herself as she reached for the metallic doorknob.

"The meeting is over. I'll just rest in my room fo-"

She was cut off by the sensation that coursed through her hand. She flinched her hand away from the doorknob as she stared at it warily. She tried to touch it again, and she was zapped as a result. Shigeru and Takehito stared at her reaction while Yoshitaka laughed at her.

"Wh-what was that?"

"Hahaha! I think she charged the doorknob subconsciously. We'll just have to use a rubber glove to insulate it."

Then Miharu stared back at him with an irritated expression on her face.

"Then do you have a rubber glove there?"

"..."

Yoshitaka froze from her question. She couldn't understand his reaction as she placed her hands on her hips.

"What?"

"I don't."

Then the three teammates in the room stood dumbfounded from the sudden realization that they will stay there until the door is safe enough to open. Yoshitaka laughed it off as he walked to brew his special black coffee with his coffee machine, until he realized that it was also broken. Yui curiously stared at the older people around her who had the same look on their faces. She couldn't understand why they were so gloomy all of a sudden as she plopped down on the couch.

Shigeru walked in the hallways of the floor below the main office. He breathed out a sigh as he hid his hands inside his pockets. He was scanning the room numbers as he searched a certain room. He stopped in front of a room with the number 124 inscribed on the door. He scratched his head as he stared awkwardly at the door.

'How should I talk to her?'

It's already lunchtime, so Yoshitaka asked Shigeru to call Mikoto from her room. He complained at first, but he thought it would be better to apologize to her, so he obliged. He endured the static from the doorknob and shakily opened the door. He didn't know if the old man asked him to inform her, or just that he would be the one to open the damned door. Everyone in the room snickered at his struggle as he glared at them with shaky eyes.

So now he nervously stood in front of her room, and he didn't know how to start.

He thought that he should knock on the door, but he heard something from the inside. He knew that eavesdropping is bad, but his curiosity was unbearable. So he leaned his ear on the door to hear what was happening inside the room.

At first, it was dead silent, so he decided to draw back. But as soon as he tried to lean away, he heard her voice. So he tried to listen carefully through the door once again, and he heard her talking distantly.

"...982...9983...998...9986...9988...9..."

'Numbers...?'

He felt a chill ran down his spine and immediately backed away. He didn't know why, but it felt like he made a huge mistake by listening through the door. Sweat formed on his forehead as he tried to knock on the door, but before he could do it, the door opened. He was greeted by a pale girl standing on the doorway. He immediately backed away and posed a defensive stance.

"W-woah! What a coincidence! S-so this is your room! Hahaha! I-I'm not doing anything wrong, though..."

Sweat rolled down on his face as Mikoto stared at him. She leaned her back on the door frame and crossed her arms over her chest. She closed her eyes and asked him tiredly.

"So, what do you want?"

"Ah... Eh... I-I'm just walking around the hallways..."

"You've been standing in front of my room for 20 minutes, and it's getting really irritating so I opened the door. You could knock, you know..."

She opened an eye to peek at the nervous boy in front of her. Shigeru gulped as he brought down his defensive stance.

"Y-you noticed...?"

"Yeah. So, what is it that you want from me?"

He scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. He felt like he should just disappear from his spot as the girl stared at him with a sharp glare.

"T-the old man wanted me to inform you that it's already lunchtime, so please go downstairs and eat with us."

"Ah. Yeah, sure."

She walked away from him with her hands in her pockets. Shigeru wanted to say something to her, but he stood still. He tried to call out for her to get her attention.

"H-hey..."

Mikoto looked back and stared at him curiously. Shigeru clenched his fists and bowed his head down.

"I'm sorry for what I did earlier..."

Her eyes widened for a while, then it turned distant. She turned her back and gazed forward. Shigeru lifted his head and stared at her trembling form. He stood up straight and remained silent as he waited for her reply.

"I should be the one saying that."

"Eh?"

She turned her head to the said and stared at him from the corner of her eyes. She smiled bitterly as she said her apology.

"I'm sorry about that."

'She's...'

Shigeru stared at her in awe. He felt something different inside him as he saw her beautiful but sad smile. He froze on the spot and gulped. It felt like the person in front of him was not the one that he saw earlier. She felt... different.

Mikoto walked away, leaving him alone in front of her room. He glanced at the side and saw that the door was left open. His curiosity perked up once again as he tried to peek in her room. Nothing looked suspicious, so he closed it silently. He soon followed and walked the halls alone.

And in the room, a notebook was left open on top of the table, waiting for someone to read what was written on its pages.

Author's note:

Haha, it seems that I'm late again XD

A lot of things happened, and it hindered me from writing. Please forgive me~

And yeah, a bunch of OCs appeared! And Mikoto's other self also made an appearance! (I didn't know why, but I started shipping her other self with Mikoto... lol. not happening XD) And my chest started to hurt while writing this... yeah. And it's getting really hard to breathe. What was that...?

Yeah, see you next chapter!
