I'm back with yet another chapter. I don't know how many chapters this book will be but I'm guessing I'm a little over halfway right now so yeah. Just letting you guys know...

        "You got a place in the heart of Altera. Why?" Add asked as he and (y/n) arrived at (y/n)'s small home.

        "I don't know. I guess I figured that if I stayed in a crowded place, I'd be occupied by watching my surroundings and less likely to worry about things I'd much rather not think about," (y/n) said. Add didn't believe her though. (Y/n) hated crowds and she hated having to be aware of her surroundings at all times. He figured that out a long time ago. She'd left that up to Add so that she could be carefree. But since Add wasn't around, maybe she did have to watch her surroundings like she was a hunted animal. Maybe she really was trying to occupy her thoughts so that she didn't have to think about him.

        (Y/n) sent Shadow off to explore the far reaches of the home once she unlocked the door. As they walked inside, Add noticed that it was much like his old lab. There was a table lining the wall and only holographic computers were there along with a lot of scattered papers. There was a single chair not including the couch and several blankets were scattered around the place.

        "I only have one room here so you'll have to sleep on the couch until I figure something out. Or maybe I can sleep on the couch and you can sleep in my room. I don't really know right now," (y/n) said, snapping Add from his observational thoughts.

        "You'll figure something out," Add said as he went back to looking around. Besides the decor of the room, Add noticed that (y/n) had invented quite a lot of things and they too were scattered about. "You've been busy haven't you. I see you made more dynamas. They look like they can do more," Add commented. He kept looking around and saw that she had sketches of different things that were either already created or in the process of being created. Most of them weren't even weapons though which slightly surprised Add.

        Back when he and (y/n) were in his old lab, all they made were weapons so that they could defend themselves from the El Search Party and infiltrate places where nasods roamed.

        "You've been doing pretty good. You seem to like inventing new things too huh. What exactly do you do with all of these inventions or yours?" Add said. He had picked up one of her sketches and kept looking at it. It was so familiar to him but he didn't realize why. He put the paper back in its spot and looked back to (y/n). "Hey, what's the matter with you?"

        She was silently crying as she stared at him, and she most certainly did not answer his question. (Y/n) suddenly summoned her dynamas which alarmed Add. "What are you doing?" he asked her.

        "They're dynamos, not dynamas. See, there are six this time. I used some of your old sketches and outlines to make them. All of this creating is driving me crazy. I thought that if I created enough, you'd come back and save me from this place. I thought you thought of me as a failure, but you wouldn't think that if I wasn't a failure right. All this stuff that I invent, I sell it. The nasods buy my designs and inventions to better their own society. I can never take any credit for it since their queen knows nothing about it. But you...you actually think all of this is a good thing? I hardly ever sleep anymore. If I don't get any new ideas, I'm threatened by them. The only reason I put up with it is because I wanted to find you. I thought you'd find me by seeing my designs or something. It's foolish isn't it," (y/n) sadly explained.

        That was when Add realized just how much she'd been suffering. She was in a crowded place so that the nasods couldn't get to her without anyone noticing. She had made this much progress because she was forced to. It only reminded Add of the story (y/n) had told him about her adoptive parents.

        "You want to leave this place don't you. You want to stop all of this progress and live peacefully," Add said. (Y/n) only nodded in response. "Well we'll leave right now. Get Shadow and anything you want to take with you and we'll leave. There's somewhere I want to take you anyway."

        (Y/n) looked at him like he was insane. "Didn't you just hear me? They'll..." (y/n) was saying.

        "Yeah, yeah. I know. They'll threaten you and stuff. So what? If you are nowhere to be found, they can't do a thing about it. Besides, didn't you tell me that you could handle yourself," Add said, cutting her off.

        "I can," she insisted with a pout and narrowed eyes.

        "Then you'll have to prove it. If anyone comes for you, you just knock their lights out and it should solve your problem," Add said with a shrug.

        "I wonder about your logic sometimes...seriously. You can't fight everyone that bothers you Add," (y/n) said. Add could tell that she was trying to keep herself from smiling at him.

        "I don't have to," Add said with a smirk. (Y/n) couldn't keep herself from smiling at him this time. "Anyway, are you coming or not? I don't want to leave you here again," Add said with a slightly serious tone. (Y/n) thought about it for a moment then looked at Add with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

        "I don't see why not. In fact, I could continue my second job without having to hide it anymore," she replied.

        "Second job? What are you talking about?" Add asked. His mind then wandered back to what Shadow had said.

        "She doesn't want me to interfere with her hunting," Shadow had said. Ironically, Shadow darted back into thw room they were in. "She hunts! She's going hunting! I want to hunt too!" Shadow said while running around the room. Add started to worry at the mention of (y/n) hunting.

        "Shadow, don't say that type of thing outloud!" (y/n) scolded.

        "(Y/n)...what exactly do you hunt?" Add asked her. She looked at him with the same mischievous glint in her eyes.

        "It depends on who's on my list. Most of the time it's people," she said as though there was nothing wrong with hunting people. Add had seen her hunt a person before. It had been Elsword and she had been way too into the hunt. Add never imagined that she would actually end up hunting people as a second job.

        "You're an assassin?!" Add exclaimed.
