In the dead of night on the planet with purple skies, the bright lights of the largest city in Punklorde shined just as brightly as any sun would. At the center of this bright city, stands the tallest building known to Rainbow City citizens. And on top of the tallest building in Rainbow City, stood the best hacker in the whole wide world.

She was sitting by the edge of the building, admiring the view of the city from a top down perspective. Her feet were dangling in the air hundreds of thousands of miles above the ground. On any regular day, she would be gaming on her phone for hours up there, bearing no mind to her surroundings at all. However, that day she felt like staring at the city lights, and occasionally admiring the starry night skies too. Then, as she was blowing up some gum, you came from behind and sat next to her on her left, staring at the city that never sleeps.

Both of you sat in silence, not saying a word for quite some time. Even though both of you haven't talked to each other for what seems to be a week, you still couldn't find the words to start the conversation. Silver Wolf popped her bubble gum, took it out her mouth and placed it on the ground beside her. You rubbed your right arm, noticing that it was a little hurt from your tumble with the electronic cuffs a couple hours back. Then, out of nowhere, both you and Silver Wolf turned to face each other.

"Why-"                                                                                                                                                                            "Did-"

Seems like both of you tried to speak at the same time. Both of you let out a small giggle, and you motioned your hand towards Silver Wolf.

"You go first." You place your hands on your lap as you stared back at the city. Silver Wolf placed her arms on the ground and positioned her back so that her hands were providing support for her back. She stared at the city lights with you.

"...Did Kafka send you here?"

You scoffed.

"Nope. Frankly, she seem unbothered about the whole thing."

"Hmph. Typical."

After that, there was a bit of silence. Then, you asked what you were initially going to ask.

"So... what made you ran away in the first place?"

Silver Wolf looked to the opposite way from you. She also retracted her legs and curled her arms around them.

"I just needed to... cool off a bit."

You recalled back when you overheard the argument of two people back when you were hospitalized.

"I think I remember... you had an argument with Kafka, didn't you?"

Silver Wolf stayed silent. Her eyes had a somber feel to it. You looked towards her direction and leaned your face towards hers a little bit.
