Night, Some Time After the Party

Oliver had finished his paperwork early, leaving Lyndsey still dealing with her own pile. There was something on his mind that needed to be addressed. Specifically, about a certain disturbed individual.

"Chief, I need to talk to you."

"Sure. Did you finish your paperwork?"

"Yes, I did."

"In my office, we'll talk there."

They went inside the chief's office and closed the door. The chief is a kind gentleman and cares for his officers. He always make sure they are right in their minds to do their jobs.

"So Browning, what's up?"

"Chief, have you ever met or known a mentally disturbed individual whom you want to help so badly yet you feel as if there's nothing you can do about it?"

The room is quiet for a while as the chief thought about it. He then broke it after a few minutes.

"Make yourself comfortable."

The chief then brought out a thermos and some cups, pouring out some hot chocolate.

"Because you're probably not going to be sleeping soundly for a while after all of this."

Morning, Present Time

The chief was right, Oliver was unable to sleep when the whole thing was over. He kept thinking about Cyzarine and what to do with her as he roamed through Beacon's hallways. Ultimately, it's up to Cyzarine herself to make the change.

"If she chooses not to, there's ultimately nothing you can do."

What about what he witnessed earlier when they found Basilia lost on the streets? Or basically around her siblings at all?

"Whatever's closest to them is the only thing keeping them from crossing the line."

That was no facade, it looked genuine. Then again, Basilia was really innocent to where that she'd be FUBAR if she saw her sister's psychotic side.

"Don't tell me you've taken a liking to this girl. Love will make you do stupid things."

Oliver suddenly tripped over nothing when the chief's words echoed through his head. He cursed to himself as he got up and brushed himself off.

I hope it's just because of the lack of sleep.

He kept passing through the classrooms. He noticed someone leaning on a wall, but he was too tired to even bat an eye.

"Oh, and Browning?"

"Yes chief?"

"We're putting a hold on file digging for the meantime, commissioner's orders. We don't want to tick anyone else off because of something seeming innocent turned out to be a threat."

"Okay, so that means that one assignment given to me a long time ago is put on hold for now?"

"Uh huh. Go home and try to get some sleep, you already look like a mess."

"Yes chief."
