//Punishing Gray Raven\\

Chapter 31 : Mother

Raiden : "What was he like before?"

Liv : "Caring, hardworking, overworked, mentally fatigued and physically taxing...yet he always smiled despite that saying 'I will protect all that is Beautiful in the world' that was his Motto in life"

Raiden : "I see...Protect all that's beautiful in the world...what a motto huh"

Liv : "After the incident he flipped...he was longer the man I knew...he changed drastically in such a short span of time...I could never forget it...and never recover from that...I don't hold a grudge against him anymore...nor do I despise him or hate him...he tried and tried...he did his best and perhaps he died maybe miserably...but I just wish to speak to him one last time...and say goodbye on good terms"

Raiden : "...Liv..."

Lee : "Your too kind..."

Liv : "...I...loved him..."

The Girl says in a whisper with her head down and fidgeting her fingers together

Kiri is seen laying Chrome on the stroller with the help of Kamui

Kiri : "Your quite stubborn..."

Chrome : "...I don't need to hear that from you"

Kamui : "Stop bickering... we're lucky that the Ascendant didn't hunt us while we were unconscious"

Wanshi : "...Thanks...Mister Kiri"

Kiri : "...You want my thanks? Just make sure you are fine and taken care of...Raiden will have my head if you guys got into serious trouble"

Wanshi, Chrome and Kamui doesn't respond back as Kiri then began walking away presumably back to the The Gray Raven Lounge

Camu however...just snaps his fingers at that...to him there was something more when he arrived to see Kiri pointing a gun at Neggut point blank

Camu : "How interesting...I wonder what happens next"

Gray Raven Lounge

Kiri enters the Lounge area and sees Raiden doing a bit of paperwork

Raiden : "Hey...How's the experience?"

Kiri : "Very interesting to be honest"

Raiden : "Oh?"

Kiri : "The Strike Hawk are...how should I say this... Professionals...they have everything in a team...Kamui with his bulky build, Wanshi being the Backline support, Camu the Juggernaut and ofcourse Chrome...who is everything you could ask for a leader"

Raiden : "Is that so?"

Kiri : "But...they are nothing compared to you guys you four have that...certain edge so to speak"

Raiden stopped himself and looks at Kiri who then sits at the couch and lifts his feet to the table making himself comfortable

Raiden : "...Really?"

Kiri : "Everyone has their certain uniqueness that just meshes well with everyone...Lucia...truly a perfect fit for a leader role...Lee being the most logical and often calculating type having backup plans...And Liv...An Angel"
