Chapter 34: We Meet Again

When Verde got home after the Mission, he immediately go to the Kitchen and emptied the contents of his Stomach. He stared at his reflection on his Washroom. Other than his Usual eye bags, haggard, exhausted and Messy Appearance. There were tears that was now leaking out of his eyes again.

" Verde, how could you!...waaahh... I ..hate ..you...hate..you... They.. are people.. Your so Cruel! "

" I know that they are People. "

Verde wiped the tears in his eyes. Chris were annoying as always. He hated when because of him, his body was turning like this.

" Why?! ...You promised.. "

" I never promise anything to you about those people. "

He smiled slightly in front of the Mirror.

" I acknowledge that they are a People but at the same time, they are experiments that isn't included in our agreement. "

Chris became silent after that. That Night, Verde can't sleep peacefully. He decided to do some light experiments that didn't included any people. Just a simple research and theoretical experiment.

After a few days of experimenting he decided to take a break and leave on his lab alone without his Mafia Associates.

Nov. 23, 1972

A few days after the Mission, Skull was strolling again on a shopping district somewhere in Italy. Skull or 'Mortell' sighed as he look casually on the People and the Shops. Skull after his new performance on the Circus has decided to take a break. After the Mission, he has no time to take a break since it was his scheduled performance in the Circus.

His mind was exhausted from the Mission. No, his mental exhaustion hasn't been caused by the Mission but the Great Tragedy that happened after the mission. ( The Supposed peaceful dinner that turned into a Disaster ) Skull unconsciously hugged his body as he remembered the event.

Skull decided to keep quiet everytime that they would have a dinner. It was better that way if he remained unnoticed and always stay beside Luce.

As he look at the crowd in Daze, Skull noticed a Familiar Figure in the Crowd. Skull's lips turned into a smile. He waved his hands and called out the name of the familiar figure.

" William! "

'William' was strolling on a shopping district somewhere in Italy. Today, he was looking(observing) the crowd(subjects) again. He like appreciating(researching) the People in the Shopping District. He can stare (Experiment) at the People with his eyes.

He has his trusted Journal (Research Book) where he can casually write about the happenings(Discoveries) and any interesting stuffs that happen.

William can stare at them all day peacefully and silent if Chris could just shut up and stop popping out words on his mind.

" I'm still upset at you... So I decided to mess up with your mind! "

Verde is annoyed. Chris is now on his vindictive mode again. Lately, his other self is gaining more backbone. His behavior need to be controlled sooner or later before it get more worse.

"William!"

Verde look at the distance as he saw a 'familiar' someone. It was 'Mortell' the Friendly and Kind guy that the Shy and Awkward 'William' have meet before.

Observing the People were part one of their discovery projects that was connected to their Reincarnation Project. It was discovered earlier that Chris was sensitive to flames of the People. They are here to test his Ability to sense the People's flames. So far their Test are going well and giving good results. Chris Ability are working and he already detected the Flames of some People.

It was a useful Ability. It would be good if Chris Ability further strengthened. Verde would make sure that it would happen. Just thinking of the Possibilities and Experiments that he can make with Chris Ability unconsciously brought a smile and feelings of delight through his body.

Now, downing the Persona of William Meadows. Verde put his 'shy' and 'wary' face.

" Verde we aren't still finish! But let's put aside that matter for now and greet Mortell! "

Chris said to him. Verde can tell that Chris previous feelings of frustration disappeared (put aside for now) replaced by feelings of Happiness and Mischievousness. He can also heard from his tone that Chris was excited.

" Hehe... I'm now in charge! Verde make sure to listen to me just like before! Don't mess this up! "

If he was more expressive, Verde would put his best 'who told you are the boss' look. But he wouldn't, it was just a waste of time and energy. And now he was currently a person named William Meadows. An awkward, sweet, shy, good looking guy who was also cautious of strangers.

" We meet Again... "

As Mortell get closer and closer to him, William shyly smiled at Mortell. He was playing with his green Scarf with his mitten covered hands. He look at the ground as he was feeling shy again at Mortell.

" We meet again.. " He awkwardly said and use the scarf to cover his face.
