Purifier woke up from her dream, the meeting with the Cube's mind definitely put her at ease.

'At least I know they aren't malicious'

Sitting up in bed, she noticed how Yorktown wasn't next to her, looking outside gave her the answer.

'It's bright as hell out there. It's probably noon'

Getting out of bed, she went to the bathroom and fixed herself up. Making sure that she was as good as she could be before leaving.

Cleveland: Hey there Purifier! How's it goooooo-ly shit you look terrible

"Gee, I wonder why?!"

Cleveland: I don't mean to insult you, but did you get enough sleep?

"I got enough sleep, but good god having an epiphany about your life is terrifying"

Cleveland: Well then...I think I'll go. Yorktown is in the Canteen if you wanna see her

"Thanks"

Entering the cafeteria, Purifier noticed how the sound cut immediately, which she already knew the reason for it.

'Just smile and wave...smile and wave'

She gave a meek smile, which seemed adequate enough for most of the eyes to drop off of her. The only set that didn't came from the class she called family.

The Yorktowns

Hornet: Yo Purifier! You were out like a light last night!

"I can tell I was, it's noon already"

Hornet: Yeah...you feeling alright?

"Yep, I don't know what to expect from this, but it's probably not pretty"

Enterprise: Since when has anything about the cubes been pretty?

"When they made you is what~"

...

Hornet: Oh...oh my god...

Enterprise: Did...you just hit on me?

"Yes I did"

...

Hornet: Ha...hahahahahaha! Holy shit! That- haha!- that was so smooth!

Yorktown:*nervous* I'm...not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this

"Don't worry mom, it's teasing"

Enterprise: And now you're becoming Akagi. Maybe this is the new Purifier

"Oh haha very funny"

Yorktown: That's enough you two, so what's the plan for today anyway?

"Honestly, I'll probably try to find a way to slow down this process, give Alpha more time to find a solution"

The table went silent, the thought of what will come is still fresh too them. The loss of a loved one is nothing to take lightly.

Yorktown:*sigh* Sweetie, I'd there's anything we can do to help, just ask

"I know...and thank you mom"

Enterprise: I'll be there too, it's the least I can do for what you've done for us

"Thank Enty"

She blushed lightly at the name.

Hornet: I'll be ready to help you whenever, ok? Just give me a call and I'll come over

"I might have to cash that in soon enough, blond Eugen"

Hornet: Good to know...wait, blond Eugen?!
