"W-What? What do you mean?" Milo gasped.
Oliver looks at him sullenly, trying to hold back those emotions before he could finally explain what was going on. "We can't be friends anymore, Milo. I'm dropping out of CAI."
"Hey, hey, hey! Let's settle this real quick. We all know you're innocent and neither worked for Amandi. I-It could be a setup that made you seem like the alleged host. I can prove you're innocent."
"It's worthless! Nobody's gonna believe me anyway."
Oliver continues to push his friend away as he rushes off towards the opposite direction. "C'mon! Just give me a chance and I'll make everything right," Milo began to pursue him. Once he passed by the alleyway, he suddenly blacked out. The last thing he saw was a black vehicle speeding off.

Meanwhile, Oliver sat quietly at the passenger's seat next to his grandfather. "You've caused the family a lot of trouble lately! You should've kept your mouth shut," said the old man in a brown shirt. There was a heavy emphasis on the second statement. Because he failed to keep a low profile, he was banned from attending art school and communicating with anyone. There is no doubt he, the grandchild and next heir to the Zuñiga Mafia Circle, had also drawn unwanted attention to his criminal family back in Circa IX. All he wanted was to see his father again. However, the only persons who could give him clues about Javier Zuñiga's whereabouts are his Grandfather Manuel here or Xavier G. The last time he got to see his father was on Halloween last year. He feared the possibility that something must have happened to him after they fled to the Philippines. He was about four when they left Europe. Javier had planned all along to cut ties with the mafia in hopes of turning a new leaf. He wanted Oliver to live a normal life without crime and violence. He did not want the boy to grow up the same way as he himself did so luckily Oliver picked up painting. Of course, this may undoubtedly have placed a target on his back. Nobody dares cross Zuñiga Senior like that.
Now, all of that came crashing down once Grandfather Manuel showed up.

[RECORDING: OLIVER at the studio]
I just wanted to know what happened to my dad. Mom ... Milo ... Everybody ... If you're listening to this, with all my heart I hope you can all forgive me. I don't know what else to do. All of those dreams of entering art school and becoming a renowned artist are over. It's all over ... Sniff ... SOB!
