Erin's Point Of View.

"Good Morning, world!"I shouted while stretching my arms and legs.

Got my glasses!

Triss slowly opened her eyes and sat up, and yawned. Maybe still sleepy?

" Good Morning, Erin." She greeted me warmly. "Can you wake them up? I have to do something."

"Ah, Sure!" I said.

Triss stood up, and put her hood on. Then, she went on forward.

I wonder what she will do. . .

I went back to reality, and decided to wake up Alex, Meg and Kennedy. Welp, I consider Kennedy as our new recruit!

After waking them, up, we just rest for a little while while we waited for Triss to come back. Somehow, Kennedy looks pale and sad. Is she. .

I sat beside her. "You good?"

She nodded.

Guess I need to force her to say it then.

"Come on, tell me alread--"As I paused, seeing Triss waving and smiling at us.

" I'm back! Let's go now, shall we?"

"Okay!"

∆∆∆

"That is a really bad gesture you have!" I say to Kennedy. "Can't do better?"

She was sweaty; tired.

"She's really have a hard time there, no?" I hear Triss say to Alex. "Meh, it's gonna be worth it."

"Mhm." Alex agreed.

"Welp, this might also thwart her feelings that she'll might dislike us more."

Ignore it~ It'll be fine! Kennedy can be stronger!

Then, Kennedy just plopped down to the floor, exhausted.

"Good Job ther-"

Wait, my glasses, she removed it, I can not see! I'm extremely myopic!

"Kennedy, give it back!" Triss scolded. "Why did you do that?"

"Oh, I d-did n-n-not mean to do t-that. I-I'm s-sorry. H-Here, I-I'll give it b-back." She said while she gave me back my glasses, and put it on.

"Thanks."

Triss clapped, giving us her attention.

"Okay, Training is over!"

Just sticked my tongue out, since, I'm starving.

We were just eating our mini snack, cause why not? I am tired of being the brains of the team, or I mean, the smarty.

Somehow, Kennedy ate slowly. Just slowly.

And Triss was eating less. What's happening?

"Triss, eat more, you need energy. And Kennedy, eat faster, please?"

"I'm full." Triss said. "Been full. . ."

"Oh. Okay. ?"

Triss just stood up, and went near to the fireplace.

I looked at her. She seems really worried.

Is she questioning herself again that what we do is for the good or bad? I already told her what we are doing right now is necessary, but it seems like she needs some thought with that.

At the surface she seems steadfast, but deep down, Triss questions herself what they are doing is for the good or bad.

Just keep calm. Just talk with her and you'll be fine.

I walked towards Triss and sat beside her.

"Triss, are you really okay?"I said. " You are acting strange ever since Kennedy and Yuraki showed up."

Then, she just tilted her head slowly sideways.

I let out a deep, sigh. I need someone more suitable.

Someone that is loyal to her. . .

Alex could be loyal to her right? Since she loves her as a friend.

I stood up again, and grabbed Alex's hand.

"Girl, what's up?"
"I need help your help with something. Right now."
"If you say so."

I explained my observations about my Triss, and Alex, seems puzzled. That's why I just made a short summary.

Okay, the plan is to make Alex convince Triss to tell her what's wrong; then, after talking what's wrong, we will need Kennedy to come here too.

Simple.

Alex and Me just sat beside Triss. I wait on the right, while her on the left, then I let out the signal, ordering her to talk.

"Triss, you've, uh, been acting weird lately since Kennedy or that freaking scary dude showed up. Is anything wrong? Don't worry, just tell me, that's gonna be easy to keep."

"O-Okay. But Erin, please, move aside."

"Okay."

Triss' Point Of View.

Yuraki told me that I'm not allowed to tell this to anyone, or else, I'm- no, everyone is gonna get killed.

But, Alex seems trustworthy, guess I'll say it to her.

"Remember when I was gonna do something this morning?"
"Yeah."

"Actually, When you guys were asleep that night, Yuraki told me to meet up at the morning, that's why I told Erin instead to wake you up."I explained.

" Oh, then what did he say?"

"He said that. . . . Kennedy, is gonna get killed if I told this to you guys."

Alex gasped in horror. Then just sighed.

"Girl, that's not true, we could beat him up, and make Kennedy safe and sound, riiiiightttt?" As Alex smirked at me.

I chuckled lightly, and just smiled.

"Okay, then, after snacks, let's tell this to everyone, then, we'll find him, is that fine?"

"Sure. . . "

Me and Alex went back to the table, seeing Kennedy, Meg, and Erin, smiling.

"Huh? Why are you guys smiling, you too Meg?" I asked weirdly.

Then, Erin giggles.

"Oh, Triss, you make me laugh every time! Alex, your such a good actress, no?"Erin said while she wiped her tears;tears of joy.

"Yeah, Yeah, but what's more important is knowing what Triss told me, riiighhht?"

"I know, I know."

Wait, this was a trick the whole time?!?!

Oh cruuuud. . . .

"Oh come on! Guys!" I complained.

"Well, at least we can help you, right?"

". . . You got a point." I finally admitted. "Fine, Alex, explain."

"Yes Boss!"

. . .

". . . Don't call me. .boss. . ." I ordered.

After explaining what I said to Alex to the gang, Erin looks suspicious, maybe she is forming a gimmick again. Oh crud. Oh well.

Kennedy was silent all along.

I noticed something, she was putting her hands in her back, and she was sweaty.

And that's when I was finally gonna be suspicious.

"Kennedy, give me your hand."
"W-Why?"
"Just gimme. Please." I said while reaching my hand to her.

"No!" She said while a small, paper fell on the grass.

I grabbed the paper, and that's when I was really confused.
