I was sitting on the couch with Pierce, who's petting my head, it was calming not gonna lie. I remembered that Ava is in the laundry shop and decided to go out, I excused myself and took my bag/purse and went out to go check on Ava.

-Outside of the Laundry Shop-

I was about to step in but then heard Mrs. Oats' voice and I saw Ava. I quickly backed up a bit, trying to not get any of their attention. I decided to eavesdropped on their conversation, why? I don't even know actually.

'Most people are kind for different reasons, the entirety of the human race is only nice in hopes that we don't kill each other. We mutually benefit from that.'

Mrs. Oats paused for a moment and continued,

'I would assume you and your sibling aren't kind to those boys unless you two are getting something out of it yourself.'

'Huh? I-I mean..'

Ava stuttered, Mrs. Oats chuckled,

'You know, ever since you two moved into this apartment building, I haven't seen you both this happy. At some point, we have to stop being so stubborn and be honest with our feelings. If you're happy to have friends, you should enjoy them while you have them, before they leave you.'

It went silent for a few seconds until Ava asked,

'Have you had friends before Mrs. Oats?'

Mrs. Oats replied,

'Oh, plenty. Some because we just faded apart, and some because well, I mean they died.'

'well that took a sharp turn-'

Ava got caught off guard and apologized to her,

'No, no. It happens, it's a natural part of life. But my point stands, it's better to have had people who you care about, than none at all.'

Ava looked down with a slight gloomy face,

'Yeah, I guess you're right.'

I decided to finally go back to our apartment. I guess I learned another useful  lesson from Mrs. Oats-
While going back, someone bumped into me. They apologized a few times and quickly went downstairs. They were probably late or something..

-In the Apartment-

I plopped on to the chair in the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, I put on my earphones and listened to f/s. After some time, I saw Leif and Ava put an old looking tv on the coffee table (i think its a coffee table-). I asked Ava where did she got it and Rhys asked what is it,

'Well, I'll answer your question first, Rhys. This is a piece of ancient earth technology, something from the Dark Age in our history. And to answer your question, N/n, I got it from Mrs. Oats!'

I simply nodded at her reply, the guys were intrigued by the it,

'This is a tv, long before the smartphone and the computer, the tv was a primary way humans would get their information. It was like, one in every household and surprisingly as much as people hated them, they actually brought people into the same room as supposed to the technology today.'

Ava finished, Rhys asked why she has one now. She told us it was a gift from Mrs. Oats, and now it's for the Daemos. Rhys gleamed with excitement, Asch asked,

'But why? Why can't we just use the 'kom-poo-ter'?'

Ava told us she allowed Rhys to use her computer, but Leif destroyed it then Rhys kept clicking on ads and her computer got a virus. Oh wow-

'So what's to say we won't do the same thing to this technology?'

Rhys asked, Ava told them they can't click on ads and they can just switch channels. She also explained what to do with it, Asch asked about the marriage thing again to Ava. "Surprise, surprise" she ignored the question and lied about her being busy all of a sudden..

-Short Timeskip-

It was already evening, I closed my sketchbook and checked on how Rhys is doing with the tv, he's been pressing the same buttons almost all afternoon,

'So, any.. Something happen?'

'This box is beyond me..'

I giggled and told him it was already late, he agreed and went in to their.. What should I call it.. 'Magic Wall'? Yeah, that'll do. Leif teleported near me and asked me about what to do with the "box",

'Just try to turn it on, I guess? I don't even know how to. So I guess it's luck for you to find out. Anyway, I'm going to my room, night!'

I left the living room and flopped on to my bed, I sighed..

-Next day-

I was about to make breakfast but saw the kitchen is messier than before-  the Daemos were in the living room,

'Has anyone seen Leif?'

Rhys asked them, or us, Asch replied,

'No.'

I shook my head, Rhys asked why the kitchen was a wreck, I shrugged my shoulders and decided to fix it up until we heard Ava screamed coming from her bedroom,

'Leif!'

Pierce shouted, we all rushed to her bedroom. We saw Leif feeding Ava pancakes, 

'What is- what is going on?!'
'What am I witnessing..'

Asch and I said at the same time, Ava told us,

'Leif and I were just talking about our feelings!'

I cocked an eyebrow at her, Leif then said,

'Yeah but I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to shut her up with pancakes.'

I held my laughter while Ava looked at him.  I walked over to the table that is on Ava's bed and tasted the pancakes Leif made. It tasted good, buuuut not as good as mine. Definitely not biased. I heard Leif said, 'I'll show you'. Then we all went out of Ava's bedroom and saw the aggressive talker guy from the "totally" useful advices channel in the tv, I'll call hiiiimmm.. Merk, cause yes.

 Merk started to talk about the next advice, he's still on my 'dislike channels' list till this day. Leif told us that, 'human', speaks to him and it worked-  the others were now interested in that show. 

'I- uh- you know what, whatever helps them learn proper manners.'

Ava said to herself, and went to her room. I looked back at the Daemos, who were really into the show-  I smiled and went to my room as well..
