Tadayoshi and Bella glare at each other

Bella: it's been a while

Tadayoshi: wish it was longer, fallen angel

Bella: funny, but you know happens next, right?

Tadayoshi: of course I do

Bella: mask will come and get you

Tadayoshi: fine by me, if my cowardliness didn't get me before

Bella: *sigh* you were such a coward back then

Tadayoshi: that Tadayoshi's dead, nothing scares me...

Bella: I know, we all change, especially what you are trying to do with that young girl

Tadayoshi: leave her out of this

Bella: why do you care about her so much? From what I remember is that you never trusted in anyone

Tadayoshi: I don't, but I understand her pain... unlike you

Bella: you're right I don't... but do you know why I'm called the fallen angel?

Tadayoshi: if I'm correct, you were banished from your own parents, friends, etc

Bella: I'm surprised you remembered

Tadayoshi: if I forget, I would've been dead long ago

Bella: very true

Tadayoshi: what does this have to do with her

Bella: well, I'm saying is that let her join the darklings

Tadayoshi: what?

Bella: you heard me, I could report mask about her and he'll most likely let her join. Maybe mask would even forgive you for leaving if you hand her over

Tadayoshi: I known that kid for a while, and I refuse that request

Bella: of course you would

She turns her back to him and spreads her wings out

Bella: I'm going to report your location to mask, so you better be prepared

Tadayoshi: fine by me, just leave the kid out of this

Bella: no promises

Bella flies into the night sky, disappearing into the darkness

Tadayoshi: "how long do I have?..."

Tadayoshi begins to walk back home, without even noticing someone watching him

?: are you sure it was him?

?2: I'm sure it was him! That man reported us about him, his next target must be whoever lives in that home!

?: yeah you're right, the darklings cause nothing but chaos and trouble

The next day came by as Tadayoshi waits for Alex

Alex: sorry I'm late

Tadayoshi: don't worry about it

Both Alex and Tadayoshi begin to walk around town

Alex: I heard about this chili festival that's happening right now

Tadayoshi: is that so?

Alex: so... I was wondering... can we go there together

Tadayoshi: you know, you don't have to bring me along all the time right? You're gonna be on your own when I finish my work

Alex: yeah... I know, but I just want to make the most of it with you
