Dib slowly opens his eyes, where he wasn't wearing his glasses. He sits up and grabs his glasses where he sees Harumi sitting on a small chair, waiting for him.
"Ah! H-Hey... Ahem..."
"Harumi... Harumi Takashi," Harumi introduced herself.
"Of course... of course..." Dib remembered, "You're Mana's daughter, aren't you?"
"... Yes..." Harumi confirmed.
"Yeah... Ahem... I always wonder, but I never get the answer to." Dib admitted.
"Which is...?"
"Who's... your father? Dib asked her.
There was an awkward silence, making Dib rub his arm while Harumi frowns a bit as she answers, "I don't know..."
"You don't know who your father is...?" Dib asked.
"... No..." Harumi answered quietly, "... He died before my mum found out she's pregnant... that's what Sebastian told me... at least..."
"Did you ask Sebastian and Artemisia who your father is?" Dib asked her, where she shakes her head.
"No... every time I asked, they would dodge the question and think of a random topic..." Harumi told him, "Especially Sebby, who always has those... sad eyes every time I asked who my father is..."
"I see..."
Suddenly, the two hears knocking from the door, where they look at each other and Dib yells, "Come in!"
Someone opens the door... revealing to be Lily herself as she comes in with Rosa next to her. The pink-haired girl walks up to the raven-haired man and puts her hand on his forehead.
"He should be fine..." Rosa told Lily.
"Thank. You're dismissed." Lily told her.
"Hey!" Rosa pouted as she puts her hands on her hips, "I know I'm not human, but don't treat me like some servant!"
"My apologies..." Lily apologised, "Its a force of habit..."
"Right... well... I want to see Leo right now... see ya."
"Goodbye."
Rosa leaves the room, where Lily and Dib look at each other awkwardly, much to the ex-major's discomfort. Lily takes a deep breath and looks at the wall; avoiding eye contact.
"... So... we're technically siblings..." Lily said.
"Yep... pretty much..." Dib said, "... Drei and the other Alter units are my sisters too..."
"Yep..."
More awkward silence where it's starting to make even Harumi shiver out of discomfort as she stands up and says, "I'm just going to leave now. Bye!"
Harumi walks out of the room, leaving the technically siblings duo alone as she sees Zim behind her.
"Oh! Hey, senpai!" Harumi greeted him happily.
"Hello... is Dib awake?" Zim asked her, who nods.
"But he's talking with Lily right now," Harumi told him.
"Whatever. I'm still going to see him," Zim told her.
"H-Hey! You can't barge in someone's con-"
Before Harumi is able to finish her conversation, Zim barges into the room, where he sees Lily, who is standing next to Dib, who is laying on the bed. Zim takes a deep breath and says, "Dib-stink... we need to talk."
"..."
"What happened back there...?" Zim asked him straightforwardly.
"... I don't... you wouldn't understand..." Dib growled at him; still having leftover hatred for him.
"... Don't take that tone with Zim!" Zim called him out, "I saved you and Lily, so I have the right to know."
"Shut up, Zim!" Dib growled at him.
"No! Listen here, I hate your guts just as much as you hate my guts!" Zim admitted openly, "At the very least, I'm more cooperative then you!"
"That's the fucking problem!" Dib screamed at him as he smashes his fist on the bed really hard.
Harumi rushes behind Zim out of shock and fear while Lily stares at his fist with widen eyes; not knowing how to react. Dib glares at Zim with him gritting his teeth and narrowing his eyebrows while Zim steps back a bit.
"As if you have any idea how fucked up in the head I am right now!" Dib lashes out at him, "I'm literally dealing with the biggest guilt trip in my entire life and it's already bad enough I honestly wish I drop dead here and now! So, don't even bother understanding because you're an irken! Irkens are built for warfare! Not humans! I do not need to deal with your bullshit while I'm already dealing with my nightmares!"
Zim, Lily and Harumi look at each other and look back at Dib, who breathing heavily and bites his lips once he calms down. He looks up to Zim with sorrowful eyes and says, "Just... go... please... I don't want to talk..."
Just before Zim is about to reply, Harumi grabs his hand, where the renegade looks down and she shakes head as she advises, "Let's leave Dib-san alone for a bit... I think he been through too much..."
"... Fine..." Zim replied.
The trio leaves Dib alone, where he stares into his hand and sighs.
"I wish I never recover my memories of that damn war..." Dib thought. "I... if I had a chance to erase those memories again... I would..."
(Flashback)
Dib, wearing his Deadly weapon, stand over the corpse of the Emperor with glowing purple eyes while Ronin, with a piece of wood, shoved into his eye socket, laying on the ground in pure shock. The major held the Emperor's heart, which is still attached to the body by veins, while the samurai struggled to get up.
"D-Don't!" Ronin screamed in horror.
Dib ignored him and squashed his heart into the blood of gore with cold dead eyes. He turns around while Ronin could nothing, but screamed bloody murder in tears over his master's death.
(Flashback ends)
"... Ugh... I rather not remember that again..." Dib thought as he shakes his head and takes a deep sigh, "I... truly hate my life..."
Someone else knocks on the door, making Dib groan loudly and shouts, "Please go away!"
"No! I'm coming in one way or another!"
"... And people thought I'm the insensitive ass..." Dib thought, and sighs, "Fine... come in..."
Tori comes into the door... carrying a dark blue and black-coloured heavy axe, much to his confusion.
"This axe will be a good assist in your fighting style," Tori told him, "You know you have the Salvation armour, right?"
"... What about it?"
"This axe can absorb the electricity you create to lash all that to the enemies," Tori explained, "Kind of like Thor's hammer, but it's an axe instead. Get it?"
"Yeah... I think I got it," Dib understood, "But why do I need it?"
"Simple, this axe can cut through tungsten and steel," Tori explained, "The strongest metal and alloy. Something your Deadly weapon couldn't despite being capable to punch through human skins and one of the weapons that can kill the Shadow Dragon."
"... Okay... now I get it."
"Good."
Tori walks up to his bed and leaves the axe next to Dib. She turns around and leaves Dib alone as she closes the door. He takes a deep breath and stares at the axe, before looking up in the roof absentmindedly.
