"We've arrived!" Amy excitedly declare as they arrived at a clearing in the middle of forest. Confused, Narumi asked,

"Arrived?"

As if just remembered, she took out a key card and wave once, shattering the illusion that shrouding the whole building. The sudden appearance of the building that certainly look advance, secure and well guarded caught the 3 adults in surprise. Shiki especially, as a Barrier Alice user himself, his inability to navigate through the labyrinth effect of forest does cause him unease. If it weren't for the girl leading them there, there's no doubt that they will circle here till days end.

"Now, now. This is too early for you guys to get all surprise. What we will discuss in a bit will be, lets just say, even mind blowing. But anyway, where my manners, to our dear guest, please welcome yourself in. Head straight in, the second room from your right is our dining hall. We can discuss there. I will bring down several things first. Then I will start explaining all things."

With that, they all step in and the building once again disappear from sight, away, from any prying eyes.

-GA-

"There, just too much info to process right now" Narumi promptly declared. And no one can blame him for that. Few months, there's a facility in this forest, yet it was never reported and none of them was caught. That Amy and few unnamed people has been going in and out building this place for safe haven, and that they also have been scouting around for info. 

"Do you know how dangerous! These all things are?!" Narumi say. Anger was understatement. Sadness, and fear, of the what if could happen to them. What if all of this went wrong? Both Yuka and Shiki remain quiet. They were too shocked. A whole base, with their own network information was build right under their nose. They amazed though all the same worried. Things could go south at any moment.

And Yuka can't help but feel hurt, hurt that another student, who's the same age as her daughter going through such a dangerous plan just so that she could build this safe haven. 

In the end, did she make the wrong choice to runaway and live a life trying to destroy the school from outside?

Narumi continued "You could have tell me. Or not do this at all. We're your teachers, you should not have plunge yourself into this risk! What if ESP founds out, not only taking over these building for his gain, but exploit all of your ability due to advance training and control that you have develop? Why?"

Amy, maybe because she was tired, maybe because in the end, no matter how mature she is mentally, her young physical form still have impacted her thought process. For now, she unable to hold back herself as she shout back,

"Because, BECAUSE! BECAUSE I WANT TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE!"

Her shouting shut him up. She continue.

"I know it dangerous. I'm not a fool. I have seen a lot during the time I look around, spying for info and so forth. I know, but i can't help it. I'm tired, day by day seeing my friend return even worse than before, being exploited as part of dangerous class students. I'm scared, because if they know my siblings Alice, no doubt they are going to abuse. I'm scared, then we have enemy, both in and out of this school. I just..."

She took a deep breath as she continued.

"I'm tired of this whole thing and when I get your information, Azumi Yuka and Shiki, who actively destroying ESP plan from outside. I believe its time. And because I also believe that, if I want to make sure a better time and future for my young siblings and my friends, I need to start it. The whole operation."

And then she wiped her tears. She forced a smile.

"And, I was never alone. And that's why we're all here, because I need help. We need every help. Can you please help us?"
