A dull ticking sound echoed through the room. It had been an hour since we defeated Riki and his gang. All ten of us had gathered at the hospital, with me, Alex, Akihiko and Kenta in hospital beds. The others had minor injuries that left them able to stand. Mr Sato was glaring at us from the corner. Idle chatter passed the time in the ordinary hospital. He hadn't bothered to heal us; maybe because of the doctors that came in and out of the room. But, the principal walked through the doors. And I hoped to God he wasn't going to give us a lecture.

Today was the first time I had ever seen the principal. He was even younger than Mr Yagami, which I thought would be impossible. His hair was a jet-black and he seemed to smile everywhere he went. Wearing a suit seemed to be the best call, as if he wore normal clothes he might have been mistaken as a brother to us. I remember reading the pamphlet for Brentworth. His name was Asahi Tokugawa.

"Well then, since we're all here I'd like to congratulate you all. Well done on ceasing the threat on Stand Users. I must say you all did a very good job. Minimal wounds are a good thing, focus on being alive." Mr Tokugawa said. His lack of discipline and age set in stone that he acted more like an older brother to us.

"Stand Users should stick together. Somebody wanting to get rid of them all is a threat we can't allow. Thank you for dealing with the burden by yourselves."

Mackenzie raised her hand from the corner of the room and said,

"Um, sir, are we going to be given time to complete schoolwork?" Mr Tokugawa beamed and faced all of us.

"That brings me onto my next point. Two weeks suspension for all of you." Multiple groans came from all of us. Evie muttered 'bullshit'. Sometime during this conversation she came down to sit on my hospital bed.

"Next time please come to us if you have a problem. Sato, don't heal them until the two week probation is over."

With that, Mr Tokugawa and the other teachers left the room. Everyone stayed for a while, before the healthy left the room. We all chatted excitedly over our fights. Griffin still hadn't shown himself. What was taking him so long?

"Runaway takes the form of the place you feel the most comfort. Yours is a museum?" Griffin questioned Riki.

"Suppose so." He replied. Griffin could sense the tension; he wasn't an idiot. But he had to act calm. With a clear mind he could stay in control over any situation.

"Come, let's walk." Griffin said. Riki stopped leaning against a banner and walked. Neither knew where the museum would take them. Larger spaces meant that Runaway was less predictable. Things would seem… out of place. Such as café seats sticking out of a wall, a stuffed bear in the toilets, a flat-screen in the woods. You get the idea.

As they walked it seemed to calm Riki down. He didn't feel much anger, it was more of a resentment. His idea of perfection was shattered and came crashing down on him. All by a bunch of first years, no less.

"Do you want to know the way out of here?" Griffin said. Riki simply shook his head and pointed to an exhibit.

"Look at this. What do you see?"

"A tusk. Apparently belonging to a particularly ferocious mammal."

"It's progress. Scientific progress that allowed us to know it's a tusk from a mammal. Stand Users cannot exist without conflict. It's in our very nature as beings to fight. With fighting comes war and with war breeds the destruction of everything around us. Do you think it was a Stand User that brought us that tusk?"

"No."

"In an ideal world Stand Users should not exist. They only bring pain, suffering and evil. If the world needs more evil to bring about progress, then I shall be the one making the sacrifice."

Griffin snickered. His laugh echoed throughout the entire museum, which right now was only a box 10 metres wide and 10 metres tall. The corridors were filled by a smoke blocking any view of other rooms.

"There was no sacrifice in what you did. You only caused pain for other people, not yourself. Even in the name of 'progress' or whatever you want to say it was the wrong decision. Hurting other people will only hurt yourself in the end. Final chance. Do you wish to leave?"
