Adam: Damn this Bastard! Wiping out the entire fleet.

What remained were Adam and three remaining White Fang Grunts, watching their comrade's bodies, trembling in fear.

Adam: Don't just stand there, kill him!

The three broke from their trance then lock their guns at him as he barely raises his sword.

I finally made it to (Y/n)'s Parents where they were staying, a rundown Place covered with planks on every window. I walk to their Porch before knocking, greeted by a gun on my face.

Man: I already gave you what we have, leave us alone--

Before long, the man lowers his gun.

Man: You're... not one of them.

Cloud: I'm here to deliver a package.

Man: A package-- Is it from (Y/n)!?

Cloud: Yes I--

Man: That's wonderful news! Come in, come in!

Entering, I found (Y/n)'s mother, sitting beside the window.

Man: (M/n), (Y/n) send a package!

(M/n) didn't turn as she was blind. I walked up to her.

Cloud: Um, greetings, ma'am. Are you (Y/n)'s mother? My name is Cloud.

(M/n): Are you... Cloud, the puppy?

Cloud: Excuse me?

(M/n): My son wrote to me once about you. Zero attention span, restless as a little puppy.

Cloud: Gee thanks, (Y/n).

With that, she chuckles.

Cloud: (Y/n) wants to give it to you but...

(M/n): He's busy dealing with a girl, isn't he?

Cloud: Wh-Wha?

(M/n): I know my son, a real ladies man, isn't he?

(F/n): He got it on me.

(M/n): *Chuckles* Of course...

(F/n): What does that mean...?

(M/n): You barely manage to ask me out back in the day when we were young.

(F/n): Well...

She chuckles again until came up, coughing.

(F/n): (M/n), here.

(F/n) handed her some medicine and a glass of water.

(M/n): Thanks, dear...

(F/n) nod and went into the kitchen.

(M/n): Cloud.

Cloud: Yes?

(M/n): Please tell (Y/n) to come back home... I'm afraid that I have... no more time left in this world.

Cloud: A-Are you--

She nods.

Cloud: ... Okay. I'll tell him after I come back.

(M/n): Thank you...

With that, I turned and left without turning back due to the guilt in my face.

Cloud: ... I'm sorry.

I went back to where I parked Fenrir, hopefully, I won't encounter that drunkard earlier.

???: Heellooo~~

I turned around to see a... beautiful girl...

???: Your bike is...

She turned to Fenrir.

Cloud: Yes...?

???: It's stepping on the flowers.

Cloud: Oh.

I shifted Fenrir aside, away from the flower bed.

Cloud: My mistake.

???: No worries.

With that, The sunlight rained down on her like a... goddess...

???: Hello...? Are you okay?

Cloud: It's nothing...

Before getting on my bike, She stopped me.

???: You...

Cloud: Yes...?

???: You went in that house... Might you know (Y/n)?

Cloud: ...

Out of guilt, I can't say anything but nod.

???: Really! Is he okay?

Cloud: ... Yeah.

The Girl's smile widened, holding her hands together.

???: That's wonderful!

Cloud: Are you... The Flower girl...? (Y/n) did mention you to me once.

Flower girl: Hehe... I was a huntress back then but I dropped out.

Cloud: Why...?

Flower Girl: I'd... rather not lay a weapon to those scary monsters...

Cloud: And you raised a flower shop...

Flower Girl: Nope, well (Y/n) thought of that.

Cloud: No kidding...

Flower girl: O-Oh! I have to go, I need to get these back at the shop. see you then.

Cloud: Okay...

Getting on the bike before heading back, the Flower girl ran back to me.

Flower Girl: Hey! Tell him "I'll be here!"

I then nod and driving out of the slums.

Cloud: ... I'm sorry...

Almost getting out of the city until some rift portal opened, coming out another bike, crashing onto me, knocking me out.

- 3rd Person View -

Back at the slums of Mistral where we last saw the Flower girl, She was taking care of the flowers growing in a crevice.

Flower girl: (Y/n)... I can't wait to be in your arms again...

Minding her own business blissfully flustering about him, an unknown figure behind her draws its weapon stabbing her in the back, leaving her, struggling for her life.

Flower girl: *Gasping* Help... me...
