"It would be quick, I'll go after you and lock the door. Call some of the units to guard this room. "

Blue kept himself silent and wince from the wounds he sustained from yesterday's incident. The injuries sting under the bandages but he endured it, "Sounds like a charm, don't forget to pick me up. "

Hoshiguma nods and gave him a small thumbs-up before taking a step out.

Chen took a long glance at Blue and he gave her an awkward smile. The follows after Hoshiguma and locks the door.

The smile on Blue's face drops, a sudden thought struck him. Nail marks could be seen on his palm as he looks at it with a heavy gaze, "It's hard to make friends. "

"That's why you have me, Blue, " A familiar voice resonate in the room. Deep and somewhat hoarse; a husky voice.

Blue gazes upon the source of the voice and saw waves of reverbs forming a figure. Colours shade the form, revealing a woman afterwards.

She is tall as Blue with a curvaceous body

She is tall as Blue with a curvaceous body. Her soothing eyes were crimson red, lighter than Chen's in colour but glints more often under her hunter hat. A fur cape compliments her elegant figure along with her long white hair from top to bottom.

"Uriel?" Blue stuttered as if he has seen a ghost. Though, he buried the surprise and wavering fear deep inside his body. Composing his face with his usual small smile, but it was on the verge of breaking.

"Surprised and scared? I know you like the back of my hand, Blue. We've known each other for years after all, " Uriel runs her hand on her other arm. her voice growing slightly deeper as her intense gaze pierces through Blue's.

"Former Leader Uriel, I already buried you along with the rest of the Sentinel… how could you be alive?" Sweats pouring down from Blue's forehead. The growing mystery heightened his anxiety.

"Rest assured but I don't have time to explain, I'm here to inform you… new Sins resides in this city, " Uriel traces her lips with the edges of her index finger. Her eyes narrow and seem to glow dimly under the shadow of her hat.

Suddenly, the building shook followed by the sound of a loud boom outside of the room. Screams and wailing could be heard as storms of footsteps trembles the floors nearby.

The fluorescent lights die down as electricity was cut off. The fan spins slowly to a stop as the room darkens due to nighttime. Some lights of the remaining of the explosion could be seen from the window.

"Shit, I need to get out, but this device is suppressing my spirit arts. Uriel, I'll believe you as for now but can you get me out of these cuffs?" Blue points at the cuffs on his right hand with an awkward expression.

"Sure Bluey Blue, get your torso up first and I'll puncture the cuffs with gravity-, " Uriel said and Blue quickly lifted his chest from the bed, turning his back on her.

Uriel raised and opened her left palm as subtle waves gather at it. The waves increases in intensity and her hand becomes more blurry due to the distortion of gravity due to her will.

"ACK!" Blue grunts in pain as something foreign pierced his torso from the back, sharp and cold.

He could feel a part of his body is missing, like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. He looks down with trembling eyes and saw Uriel's bloody hand have caught his ripped heart.

"Uriel your-!" Blue yells as he tries to to to to endure the swelling pain in his chest. His body tone starts to turn paler than before.

"Your unwavering trust in your comrades is your weakness, Blue. Because of that, I'm very fond of you, " Uriel whispers to his ears breath by breath.

"What about our promise, Uriel-!" Red liquid spews out from his mouth, staining the floor with his essence.

He looks from the edges of his eyes and saw Uriel's large unsettling smile.

"Old promise for old goal. Time has changed, Blue, whether you like it or not. Now, you either die or join me in the conquest of the purging the real 'evil'. "
