--- Arlo's Apartment ---
A new week.
As people were going to their jobs, and students were going to their respective schools from their homes.
And so was Arlo, who was preparing his notebooks for school.
This last weekend, he spent his time thinking about the past.
As he thought about how he would have to deal with John.
Alone.
And this time, he had to make sure that no one would interfere.
This itself wasn't so difficult for him.
But after his conversation with Blyke, he felt that he lacked something.
And he thought about the things he would do when he recovers the title back.
As he is going to unite students again...
Or so he thought.
He couldn't explain it.
But Arlo couldn't come up with an answer, but at the same time, he knew that letting John on the throne wasn't going to do any good for anyone.
The reason for this hesitating was the lack of resistance of the students to John.
Even though the students were scared of getting close to him.
He didn't do anything to anyone.
He didn't enforce the order.
He didn't set an example for anyone.
He wasn't acting like a high-tier was supposed to be.
And yet, things were the same as before.
The students were doing the same things as before as nothing happened.
For some reason, the vision he had about his previous rule...
Felt rather underwhelming for him at the moment.
If I just want to dethrone John to return things as they were before...
Then I'm not making any difference.
He couldn't let that unpleasant feeling inside his mind take over.
The feeling of his actions was not as good as he thought they were.
At this, Arlo grabbed his phone.
And called one of the few people he could trust.
*Calling Aunt Valerie*
...
...
- "Hello? Arlo?" Valerie asked over the phone while yawning a bit.
- "Hello, sorry for waking you up." He greeted with a serious tone.
- "Don't worry about it, I just had to stay until late in my shift..." She commented.
- "Why?" He asked.
- "Well, I had to search for someone... but to no avail, it was a rather unproductive work shift for me, that's all I'm allowed to say." She said while sounding a bit disappointed.
- "Anyways, what happened?" She asked immediately, changing the subject.
- "Why do you assume something happened..." He said.
