"FATHER!!" I yell as I open the door to his office.

I see him at his desk, rummaging through the drawers.

"Dad, what's going on!?"

"I would have taken precautions if I knew." he says.

"Have you heard from Riva or sis!?"

He shakes his head and starts to go through the drawers faster.

"We can't just leave them!"

"You're right, we can't."

He stops tossing papers around, pulls out a gun and loads it.

"As head of this hospital, I am responsible for all patients, guests, and other important individuals' safety."

With electric tone speed that surpasses my own, he dashes behind me and grabs the doorknob.

"Locate Riva and Sutoria and evacuate." he orders.

"I am responsible for this hospital too, you know!"

He turns around and puts his hands on my shoulders.

"I lost your mother long ago. And I don't want to lose you too."

I pause, conflicted between fear and anger. Anger for him not trusting me enough. Fear of losing him.

But also, fear of losing Sutoria and my own life.

Reluctantly, I nod.

"Make me proud." he says.

He leaves the office, rushes down the hallways. Knowing him, he isn't fighting, but is instead helping with evacuations. A lover, not a fighter. It's one of his redeeming qualities.

As instructed, I rush to Riva's office.

"RIVA!" I yell, opening the door.

PASHU-!

I look inside and see she isn't here.

Rather, I only find a dwarf, his hands pressed to his ears.

I quickly close the door and lock it behind me.

"Who're you?" I ask.

"You tell me first what the Rhoken is going on?"

"That's what I'd...wait a second!"

I look to the blade on his lap.

"Is that Oren's blade!?" I ask. The blade I remember him carrying during the concert.

"You know Oren?"

"Yes! I was just with him! Follow me!"

Pashu-!

I yank the door open...

Just to find a man waiting outside.

The man is clearly injured, but it doesn't make him any less intimidating.

"Sir! I need to get out th...!"

The man instantly grabs my throat.

(Electric Drive: !)

I thrust my electrified fingers into one of his open wounds.

"AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!"

The man lets go of me and crouches in pain. I then prepare a sped-up roundhouse kick.

But the man grabs my foot with his other hand and hurls me into the wall.

BATAN!!!

"Ggggiiii!!!" I gasp.

The dwarf backs away in fear as the man approaches me. He reaches out for me again, and I hear him speak.

"You're persistent. Just like your blood-related father."
