Sub Chapter

Chloe and Sabrina made their way to school, the people on the street moving out of their way as they passed by. They were used to it by now, with Chloe being the mayor's daughter and Sabrina's dad being a cop, no one wanted to get on their bad side.

Though now Chloe found how people would intensely avoid their gaze a bit annoying. A result of her relentless bullying up until recently no doubt.

"Stop it! Give it back!"

Chloe looked ahead to see a little boy with chestnut brown hair and glasses struggling in the grip of a few older boys, who held his arms pinned behind his back. Another boy, who appeared the oldest of the bunch, held a CD of Jagged Stone's new album in one hand. A backpack with the zipper open sat at the bully's feet.

"Can you believe this loser listens to Jagged Stone?" The older boy jeered. "I bet his brother made him listen to that pathetic excuse of a rockstar." With that, he drops the CD and stomps on it, the CD container cracking.

"No!" The bullied boy's eyes filled with tears as he stretched an arm out towards his CD, only for the boys holding him to shove him to the ground.

"Aw, is baby Chrissy gonna cry?" The oldest boy mimicked a mock crying motion with his fingers, to which the other boys laughed at.

"Hey!"

The boys all turned to see Chloe and Sabrina standing a few feet away, their arms crossed and glaring at the boys.

"Pick on someone your own size, chumps," Chloe interjected with a flick of her wrist. "Ganging up on a defenseless kid? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous."

"Yeah, you guys are so weak you can't even do it by yourself." Sabrina added.

"What are you gonna do about it, big blonde baby?," The older boy sneered at Chloe.

"I'm not gonna do anything," Chloe pulled out her phone, and held up her father's number. "But I'm sure the mayor would have no problem doing so. Just wait until he tells your parents what you did," she proceeded to dial the number, holding the phone up to her ear.

"Dude, that's Chloe Bourgeois." One of the boys told their leader. "She could get us in serious trouble."

The older boy's face suddenly grew scared. He looked over at Chris, then Chloe, before turning to the other boys with, "L-Let's get out of here. That loser's not worth it anyway."

The boys nodded and started running in the opposite direction.

Once they were out of sight, Chloe hung up the call, picked up the CD, and slowly approached Chris, "Here." She held out the CD.

Chris snatched it out of her hands and hugged it close to his chest. "Why did you do that?" He looked up at her with a glare. "I could have handled it myself."

"I think you mean you're welcome." The blonde girl rolled her eyes.

With a scoff, Chris stood up and started walking away. He looked back one more time with a look of mixed confusion and gratitude, then continued on his way.

"I'm sure he appreciates it," Sabrina reassured her friend with a smile.

"Whatever," Chloe replied with a disregarding wave of her hand.

With that, the girls continued on their way to school, Chloe secretly smiling to herself for the good deed.

(Insert Miraculous Ladybug Theme Music)

"In the daytime, we're Marinette, Adrien, and Akira,

Just normal teenagers with normal lives.

There is something about us only few know,

Because we have a secret,"

"Miraculous and Devilman,

Fight till the end to stop Hawkmoth!

Miraculous and Devilman,

Together as one they'll save us all!

Miraculous Devilman!"

Miraculous Devilman

Briiiiiinnggg!

The school bell rang as the students took their seats.

Nino looked at the empty seat next to him. He then looked over to Chloe's seat, the blonde girl seemingly checking for messages on her phone. Adrien has somehow managed to convince the two that he will be okay staying at Chloe's place by himself, not wanting them to miss school again because of him.

Nino didn't want his friend to feel like he was being overbearingly protective like his father, so the Latino reluctantly agreed.

He sighed. His friendship circle was falling apart. Alya and Marinette are still avoiding each other, with Alya developing suspicion that he is hiding something else from her (which he is).

He didn't really talk to anyone else at school aside from Akira now that he knows that Nino knows Adrien's secret, and he didn't feel comfortable talking to Miki without Akira around.

Nino took off his cap, running a finger along the brim. He didn't think he'd experience loneliness, yet here he was.

"Remember the way she attacked Chat Noir?" Nino overheard Kim whisper to Max. "Those two had some major beef."

"What for though?" Max questioned. "It was Adrien who was in a relationship with her, and there is a less than 5% chance that Adrien is Chat Noir."

"Pfft, Adrien being Chat Noir? As if." The jock snickered. "Chat Noir is quite flirty with the ladies. Adrien can't even tell when a girl has a crush on him."

Max smiled amusingly. "You have a point there. Adrien is 100% hopeless when it comes to his feelings."

Nino tightened his fist. They had no idea what Adrien was going through.

Kim pointed a thumb at himself. "Not me. I know I like a lady when I see one." He gestured to his chest. "That girl could stab me anytime, and I'd thank her."

"Technically, she did," Max smirked. "You were the first one she took."

Kim crossed his arms with a grin. "She just couldn't resist my charms."

Max deadpanned at the jock. "What charms?"

"Oh, shut it." Kim playfully shoved Max, the nerd chuckling and poking a pencil through Kim's hair.

"Boys! Don't make me separate you two." Madame Bustier crossed her arms with a glare.

"Sorry, Madame." Kim and Max replied simultaneously.

That was enough. Nino stood up. "I gotta use the bathroom." He announced.

Madame Bustier shook her head. "Nino, class barely started-"

"Please Madame, it's an emergency," Nino said, a pleasing look on his face.

The teacher sighed. "Very well."

Nino practically bolted out the classroom door. He rushed to the bathroom, and locked himself in a stall. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and began to dial.

(Meanwhile)

At the devilman trios apartment, Akira cooks at his little stove, looking every now and then at the resting Miki. She would be fine, her weariness from the cave fight would be gone by day's end, but he would be damned if he was gonna leave her alone after what happened. The devilman had nearly killed Ryo once they got back up to the surface, and even now Akira was still angry at him. It was the detective's idea to bring Miki along, and they'd almost died.

No matter, Miki was safe. Looking at her, Akira saw his girlfriend smile in her sleep. A pleasant dream, likely. The devilman pushed aside his anger and focused on making her a nice breakfast.

Time passed, and soon Miki was more lively than ever.

"You really stayed here with me. I'm going to be fine, Akira." She gives him a cheeky and surprised grin.

"Well I'm not leaving you here with Ryo," he said with a grumble, "Besides, I get to skip school."

Miki raises an eyebrow, to which Akira gives her a chuckle.

Then Akira's phone rings.

"Yeah, what?" The devilman answers, not bothering to see who it is.

"Akira," Nino's voice came through. "I have something to tell you."

"What'd yellow do this time?" Akira grumbles.

"Well, he fought-wait, yellow?" Nino questioned.

The devilman laughed, to which Miki tilted her head in confusion. "Yeah, that's my nickname for him. What's going on?"

"So Kagami was akumatized and she tried to kill him," Nino started.

"Yeah, he told me last night. What's your point?"

"And then he-wait, what?" Nino questioned again, before a sigh of frustration could be heard. "So that's why he didn't pick up my calls." A bound of silence followed afterwards.

"…so, did you want anything else?" Akira tapped his foot.

"Actually, yeah.." Nino's voice grew quiet. "I brought up Adrien just to have a reason to talk to you. I..I know we're not close, but my friendship circle is falling apart, and..I don't really have anyone else to talk to."

Akira holds back a grumble, feeling Miki's gaze prodding at him. He had to admit, he really didn't consider the boy close either. At the same time, he seemed to have his head screwed on the best out of the guys he knew, aside from Luka maybe. "Look, I'm taking care of Miki, but we can hang out once you're done with school. I could even ask Luka to tag along, he's a swell guy. How does that sound?"

The call went quiet for a minute, before, "Oh, yeah! That sounds cool! Let's meet up at Andre's. See you then!"

After hanging up, Akira makes his way to a chair.

"Who was it?" Miki asks.

"Nino, we're gonna hang out later or something." The devilman rested once more. Just as he was settling down, he heard a knocking on the door.

Almost growling, he gets back up. "I swear if it's Ryo already I'm gonna have some strong words."

Miki laughs lightly. "Just see who it is."

The devilman opens the door, and he fights back his demon form from manifesting. An aura once again clashes with his as he glowers at the visitor.

"What are you doing here?"

Miki peers over to see Lila nervously smiling at the door. "I…uh…h-hey Akira. Long time no see. You would not believe the wild night I had. First I thought that Miki was…" she tries to put on a new face of confidence with a story, only for Akira to slam his fist into the doorframe.

"Why. Are. You. Here?"

Miki sighs as Lila falters once more. "I…came to see Miki."

"Lila, is that you? Come on in."

Akira slowly moves to the side as Miki calls to Lila, who warily steps in. The devilman gives Miki a dismayed stare, to which she responds with a knowing nod. They understand that something might be up, but they're going to play nice for now.

"Hey, Akira. Could you give us a few minutes? I'll let you know if anything happens." Miki reassures him with a smile.

With a suppressed sigh, Akira nods and leaves.

Miki pats the side of her bed, to which Lila warily complies. "I don't know what happened between you two, but it looks like you're on thin ice."

Lila gave a nervous sigh to the remark.

Miki continued. "I'm still glad you came to visit. We haven't gone on a walk together yet."

"Well, you know how things are…I went to…" Lila tried to think up a story. She'd had one in her head, but now everything seemed rattled after that moment with Akira.

"You've been busy," Miki gave Lila a pat on the shoulder. "I'm sure your job is stressful."

Something about that full smile put Lila at ease. The brunette pulled out a can from her bag. "I didn't know if you were still sick, so I brought you some soup."

Lila put the can on Miki's nightstand, now somewhat miffed about having gone through this trouble when Miki was already starting to feel better.

"Maybe I should get going…" she starts to rise, but Miki grips her wrist with a commanding expression. She pulls Lila forward and wraps her arms around her.

Lila's head fills with sparks. She had not expected any of this. "I..wha?..Who?!"

"Just relax a bit. I'm glad you came to visit." Miki orders Lila with her friendly voice. Lila fidgets a bit, almost fighting back, but her will seems to give out. She feels somehow…sympathized with.

How could she be, though?

But Lila eventually returns the hug, her eyes held shut tight for fear of crying.

Miki gives her a pat, "See? Isn't it nice?"

Miki releases, to which Lila pulls away slightly and opens her eyes.

Now Miki is taken aback, as Lila's eyes now show a brilliant blue. "I didn't know your eyes changed color," Miki says with a grin.

Lila goes cold. Old memories run through her head. She rears back, quickly waving her hands. "Oh, that? I'm just trying on some colored contacts." She did her best to smile.

Miki gives her an odd look at first before returning the smile. "If you say so."

Still processing this whole experience, Lila gets up from the bedside. "I think I should go. I'm glad you're doing better." She starts making her way out.

Miki calls after her, "Have a nice day, Lila."

The demon-acolyte pauses before returning a "You too." And leaving out the door. Lila begins to run once she reaches the sidewalk.

('No. I won't let this happen again. That me is dead now! It's gone!')

(After school)

As students made their way out of the school, Nino stood by the entrance stairs. He pulled on his headphones and turned up the volume. For some reason, music always comforted him. An intangible friend that he could always reach out to. Perhaps that's why he got along with Luka well. Then again, Luka was an easy guy to get along with.

("I wonder if Akira likes music") the Latino wondered.

"nino."

("Maybe I should call Adrien and ask him.") Nino shook his head at himself. ("No, I said I'd leave him alone today.")

"Nino."

(Man, why am I overthinking all this? Guess I've gotten too comfortable with my current friend circle. Gotta step out of my comfort zone as they say.")

"Nino!"

The Latino snapped out of thoughts to see an annoyed Alya waving a hand in his face. "Earth to Nino. Did you get lost in there?" She poked his forehead.

Nino lowered his headphones, scratching his temple. "Heh, sorry. Just thinking."

"About what?" The redhead asked.

"Uh, well," Nino adjusted his cap. "I'm hanging out with Akira and Luka today." He checked his watch. "I'm actually supposed to meet them now."

"What?" Alya crossed her arms. "But we always walk home together."

"It's just one afternoon." Nino shrugged. "Besides, it's been a while since I've hung out with someone else."

"Oh, I see how it is." Alya rolled her eyes.

Nino let out a frustrated exhale. "Look. I have other friends. My world doesn't revolve around just you." He placed his headphones back on and began to walk away. He turns back with, "And it's about time you let go of this stupid grudge and apologize." With that, he continued down the street.

(Over with Akira)

The devilman had made his way out to the dock and back with Luka following behind. Conversation was sparse but pleasant enough. As the musician was laughing at a joke, he was stopped by Akira. He looked to match his gaze, and saw Nino walking away rather fast from Alya, both having less than friendly expressions.

"Oh boy," Akira grinned.

Luka went over to greet Nino.

"Well if it isn't my favorite DJ. Good to see you." The blue musician extends an arm with his usual friendliness.

"Oh, hey." Nino pulls down his headphones and fist bumps Luka with a grin. "How's Mr. Band Famous doing?"

"Swell. I was just talking with Akira here, turns out we might have another singer on our crew." Luka nudges the devilman, who gives Nino a nod and a sawtooth grin. "So where should we head? I don't suppose you got a ride?" Akira gestures to Nino.

Luka chuckles, "Why, you eager to race? Let's just take it easy this time, a stroll downtown." Akira shrugs, turning back to Nino, "That good with you?"

"Yeah, I'm cool," Nino re-adjusted his cap. "According to the app, Andre is near Tuileries Garden today." He pulled out his phone and held up the screen, showing a GPS towards the location.

In short order, the trio begin their trek across town. They pass by some shops, and cross a few streets. They shared some light jokes, and soon Nino noticed something. He noticed Luka was smiling seemingly at himself, a certain kind of smile that Nino recognized.

"What's all the smiling about?" Nino asked with a gleam in his eye. "Is it about a girl?"

The musician's normal smile widens a bit. "I can't believe how well things are working with me and Marinette. She's so amazing…" he falters with a light chuckle and a look in his eyes that Akira and Nino recognize.

Nino's eyes widened. "Wait. You two are a thing!?"

Luka nods.

"Imagine that, eh? Small world," Akira remarks.

"Dude, that's awesome!" Nino patted the musician on the shoulder. "Welcome to the club. And just after everything that.." he stopped himself, "Eh, nevermind."

The devilman held back a laugh before spotting Andre a long distance off. "I spy with my devil-eye, that weird guy."

"Eh?" Nino raised an eyebrow at that remark before turning to look where Akira was looking. "Oh! There he is!"

A short line stood by Andre's cart, the ice cream man handing a couple of girls an ice cream cone.

"Enjoy, young ladies!" He said with a joyous smile. "May your connection blossom as beautiful as these flowers around here!"

"Merci, André!" The two girls said gratefully. As they turned towards the guys' direction, a pause passed.

"Yo, isn't that your sister?" Nino said to Luka.

"Oh yeah. Must be out with Rose today." The musician waves at Juleka, who gives a surprised stare before being caught up with Rose offering her some ice cream. Luka and Akira chuckle as Juleka turns slightly red and walks off with her girlfriend.

"How long has that been going on?" The Devilman poses.

Luka shrugs, "A lot longer than you'd think. But I didn't know about it myself until more recently, and she wouldn't tell me. I left it there 'cause they seem happy together, so it's cool."

Akira grins and nods.

"They make a cute couple." Nino added, though his smile faltered as he watched them walk towards the gardens.

"Ah, you three again!" Andre said cheerfully, gesturing for them to head on over. "Tres bien to see you." he peers left and right. "Your significant others are not here?"

"Hey, so about Adri…oof!" Akira starts before Nino elbows him.

"It's just us today." Nino replied, smiling again. "A guys' hangout."

"Hmm…" Andre peered into Nino's eyes a lot longer than necessary, before his face went cheery again. "A friendship then! merveilleuse!" he picks up his scooper and starts concocting an ice cream treat, "chocolate chip almond, blackberry bliss, and blueberry blast!" Andre scooped three spoonfuls of the different flavors onto an ice cream cone, holding out towards the guys. "Enjoy, gentlemen!"

"Thanks." Nino took the cone with a smile, turning towards the others. "Let's stroll around the gardens. It's quite scenic."

"Sure," Akira began following as Luka made his way forward.

The three found themselves passing by various grassy areas along a walking path. Nino and Luka were taking bites out of the cone, Luka with a spoon. Thinking it was weird to share an ice cream like that, Akira grabbed Luka's scoop with his bare hand, grabbed his own scoop off the cone with his other hand, then put Luka's scoop back on top before wolfing down his own. Nino was in a dismay bordering on something else, and Luka coughed to his side somewhat awkwardly. Both stared at the Devilman as he proceeded to lick the rest off his hands.

"What?" Akira asks plainly.

"That's an…interesting way of eating it." Nino remarked.

"Look, you guys are cool, but I don't like you that much. Besides, there was only one spoon." Another sawtooth grin from Akira, and Luka simply shrugs.

The musician turns to Nino, "Is that what Andre gave you and Alya last time?"

"Yeah, though it was without the banana," the Latino answered, his face frowning again.

"What's eating ya this time?" Akira nudges him.

"Nah, don't worry about it," Nino waved his hand dismissively. "I'm fine."

"Ok then, how's it you then Luka?"

The musician raised an eyebrow, "If you're referring to me and Marinette, then it's been wonderful. We just had that double date, didn't we?"

Akira chuckled, "Oh yeah. Just wondering if you folks have gotten any 'braver' since we last spoke."

"That's none of your business to begin with, how's you and Miki?" Luka retorted with a grin.

"Hold up. You guys double dated?" Nino asked curiously.

The two turned their attention back to the DJ. "A little while ago. Luka found us a nice place to eat," the devilman pointed to Luka, who continued. "I owed Miki a bit for…us, so I thought I'd show everyone a good time. We could make it a triple if you're up for it some time."

"That would be fun." Nino said with a nod. "Been a while since.." he paused again, before he turned to Akira with, "Say, what kind of music are you into?"

The devilman smirked, "I'm a rock guy. I have a thing for the older stuff since my folks had records from the 70's. How about you?"

"Dude, that's great! I'm an 80s rock and roll fan." Nino proceeded to pull off his headphones and placed them on Akira's head. "Check out this hit." he pulled out his phone, scrolling down his music playlist, and pressed play.

(Insert "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister)

"Huh, that's cool," Akira remarked as he listened.

(Meanwhile)

Alya stomped down the streets of Paris, not knowing nor caring where she was heading. Nino has never snapped like that at her before. In fact, he seemed a lot less himself as of late. Always dodging conversation about Adrien, yet insists on talking about Marinette. And they could deny it, but the redhead knows Juleka and Rose are avoiding her too. What has she done to feel so alone?

Alya was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the ground changing from gravel to wood. She paused however, when she heard a tune being whistled in the wind. Following the sound, Alya looked over to see Kagami sitting on a dock post and staring out at the water.

("Oh, great. Her.") Alya thought annoyingly to herself. She then thought back to the fight between her and Chat Noir, the bizarre moment of remembering everything even after Chat Noir took away the akuma.

("Does she remember all that she did too?")

Hearing Alya's footsteps, Kagami quickly twists her head and stares into Alya. A flash of emotions seemed to cross the fencer's cold eyes. First anger, then a brief hope, ending with a light dissatisfaction.

"Hey." Alya said with an awkward wave.

"Lost?" Kagami questions, her voice nearly cold as her eyes.

"Not really." Alya shrugged as she peered out at the water. "Just find myself here. You?"

Kagami takes a moment to choose her words, "I was hoping to find someone."

"From the band?" Alya questioned.

The fencer nodded. "I haven't been in the best place of mind, I'm sure you can imagine. I found…some solace out here thanks to…them."

"Even after you attacked them?" Alya pressed, crossing her arms.

"Weren't you forgiven after your little rampage too?" Kagami quickly retorts. "Then again, you don't remember it, do you?" Her voice begins to edge on something sad.

Alya rolls her eyes. "Well, I wasn't the one stealing people's hearts." She huffs as she adds, "At least you took Marinette's. Giving her a taste of her own medicine."

The fencer pauses before giving Alya a confused grimace, "What are you talking about?"

"Marinette got with Nino behind my back." Alya explained, crossing her arms. "Nino denied it when I confronted him. She clearly was faking her crush on Adrien so that I wouldn't suspect her."

Kagami was dumbfounded, disgusted even. "Are you stupid, or just gullible? Did Lila give you that idea?"

Alya gave the fencer a side glance. "How do you know?"

"Lila and I have a history," the fencer frowned. "We were…friends by circumstance back when we still went to the same school. Did you ever wonder why she joined yours halfway into the year?"

A pause, Alya standing silently on a loss for a response.

Kagami sighs. "Let me tell you something about Lila. The only people she can truly connect with are the ones who see past her mask. She got along with everyone back in middle school, and I'm sure she gets along with everyone at yours. But she was always alone." The fencer breathes a chuckle. "I never believed a word she said from the start, but somehow she came to me when her lies would start falling apart. Come to think of it, we were almost like you and Marinette except messed up in every respect."

"What do you mean?" Alya raised an eyebrow.

"She was "the personality", always making a show of herself. I was the one of few words, but that's because everyone was scared of me because of my family and their ties. I had enemies, and she only ever had fake friends, so it was always the two of us. At least it was until the end of that last year of middle school. Do you want to know how Lila is so confident at your school?"

Alya proceeded to sit down near Kagami, giving a slight nod.

Kagami continued. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lila tells grand stories about her life. They all seem unbelievable, but they all fit together somehow, don't they?"

A sinking feeling fits Alya at her core.

The fencer nods at her silence. "She wasn't always good at that. Eventually, the whole middle school figured her out. They unmasked her. And you know what happened? She broke down. To everyone else, she just disappeared one day, but she came to me on that last day. You wouldn't have recognized her. Then she just left. I didn't see her again until she started going to your school with a brand new face. And I don't mean that figuratively."

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Alya placed a hand on her hip. "People don't just change their faces."

Kagami grumbled for a second. "I don't like showing people this, but if it will clear your eyes…" she pulls out her phone and scrolls through it for a long pause. Then she gives it to Alya, who plays the video pulled up.

Holding the camera in the video is a blond girl with blue eyes, next to her sits a younger Kagami. The girl has rather sharp features, her chin coming to a nice point and her blonde hair short yet spiked on the very ends. They appear to be on a bench in an aquarium.

"Hey there, It's Lila Rossi, here with my best friend Kagami. We're having a great time here at the aquarium, aren't we?" The blonde girl nudges Kagami, who shifts uneasily. "Why are you recording us?"

The blonde chuckles. "It's a memory for later. Aren't you gonna want proof you're friends with the great Lila when I'm famous later? Well, more so."

Kagami gives an odd look to Lila, then to the camera, "…sure."

Lila pulls Kagami into a hug with a bright smile, and Kagami allows herself to smile too. The video then cuts out.

Kagami sits still, observing Alya's reaction.

"Wait." Alya blinks twice, her pupils dilating. "She-Lila looks just like Adrien's bodyguard there." she takes off her glasses, rubbing her eyes. "This can't be. She looks like a completely different person." She looks at Kagami, her face growing into one of realization. "Then, has everything she said-was it all lies?" Alya suddenly grabs the fencer's shoulder, staring her a little too close in the eye. "Did you and Adrien really break up? If so, why were you mad at Chat Noir? How do all of us remember your fight, and not all akuma fights before that!?"

Kagami shakes loose in an instant, then crosses her arm. Before Alya can grab her again, Kagami slaps her across the face with a backhand, followed by a quick front slap.

Alya, stunned by the double slap, stares blankly at Kagami.

The fencer rubs her brow. "Aren't there more important things to you then the next big piece of gossip!?" Her voice becomes harsher, "What about the people that care about you?! Shouldn't you be worried about the damage Lila has done, that you have done to your relationships!?"

Alya gasps. "You're right!" She rubs her temple. "I can't believe how stupid I am!" She stands up. "Nino! Adrien! Marinette! I have to talk to them!" She puts on her glasses, and starts running in the direction she came from. She turns back with, "This is weird, but thank you!"

Kagami gives an awkward wave before Alya continues running. She cringes slightly thinking about that old video, before looking back out to the water. ('Maybe I should go too. Luka's probably doing something with Marinette. I don't want to interrupt anything.')

End of Sub Chapter

Authors Notes:

Dancecat25: Happy Fourth of July, beautiful readers! We've decided to try something new I call "sub chapters" where we focus on stuff happening with our side characters (in other words, subplot). This will save us from having to do a bunch of mini chapters.

Aladar Caval: Speaking of mini chapters, we've certainly got enough material for plenty more kwami corners. Right now I'm working on another devilman centered chapter about what the trio was doing in the caves while Kagami was an akuma in that last chapter. Hope to have that out soon.

Dancecat25: Seems summer keeps us just as busy as school has, but we assure you that this story will reach its end one way or another. We've got a couple new arcs to work with, so stay tuned. Until next time, Cat Out!

Aladar Caval: I know it's been a while since our last upload, but I promise there is no intention of a full stop. We'll have a conclusion, damnit! Until then, peace be with you readers. 'Til all are one!'?
