When I saw Omi he looked very distant. I leaned over towards him and was about to hug him but I knew that Crawford was glaring at me. Instead I decided it would be better to just look at him. So I did.

He didn't turn away from the distant point that he seemed so intent on staring at. Omi was in his own little world and there was nothing I could do to take him out of it. Not right now, anyway.

"Ready?" Crawford asked Omi.

Omi nodded and continued to stare far down the road. So he was able to acknowledge the world around him. Then why...was he ignoring me? He was ignoring me in the same way that he ignored the rest unless he was spoken to.

So I had just become just another teammate to him? So be it. He really didn't care anymore. It was annoying to know that perhaps Schuldig had actually told the complete truth for once. I couldn't help but get the feeling that it was Schuldig's fault.

Crawford stopped the car and we all got out. We stared at the lab building before us. It was strange...something wasn't right...

Weiss... Weiss was in there. Why would Crawford have Omi's first mission be against Weiss...? It wasn't right...

Maybe they had turned Omi into a lap dog. Was this their way of proving it? If Omi killed Weiss then he would have been completely...

'Don't worry too much about it, Prodigy. Your angel will be fine...' Schuldig stated in my head.

Yeah...don't worry about it too much. Sure, he might become a raving lunatic if he realizes what he's done... Why did I even bother thinking about such things? Crawford would know what he was doing... Wouldn't he?
