"Awww...he's asleep..."

Farrah noticed the boy lull into a deep slumber after several minutes of comforting. She had to admit, he looked rather adorable sleeping in her arms. It was as if she was holding him as he was fifteen years ago...

''We can't do this! He's-''

''No, Farrah. We don't have a choice if he's going to stay here and live. We both know damn well that Korvus will stop at nothing to drive a knife through his heart.''

''Don't fucking say that! Please...''

The mentor quickly cleared the memory away for the thousandth time. It was painful letting Reiku go at the tender age of two, even worse considering that, until now, his definition of his own true parents were the bastards that made him flee the household at the age of ten.

Beep!

The monotonous ring emitted from her wrist-comm. It was a message from-

''No...I can't leave him here again. Not while he's asleep...''

But this message...the sender herself is an instant indicator of the extreme urgency the current situation contains...

''I'm sorry, Reiku. But it's time I say farewell once more...''

The woman then scooped up the boy and quickly sprinted off in the direction from where they came.
