Merel shook Darian's hand with a determined smile on her face "I'll be sure to let you know when I do" as they parted ways Merel waved Alice and Darian a goodbye and went to her dorm to take a shower and make preperations for her next appointment.

Merel and her father would try to meet each other once or twice a month ever since Merel moved to the Beacon campus. Mostly they did this so her dad could stay informed on her progress at Beacon, but Merel noticed her Egil would treat her more like an adult during these visits, finally seeing her not just as his daughter. Merel stream of water wash over her and she felt her body relax after the beating she had gotten from Darian. As she showered her mind drifted. She wondered what her father would be doing with the rest of his spare time now that she was gone, maybe he'd find time again to get a girlfriend again. He had attempted to find love, Merel knew this, but it never had seemed to last, not in a long while at least.

Merel remembered when she was younger her father had a relationship that actually did manage to last for a few months. She was a huntress, or at least she was trying to become one, after having lost her family to the Grimm, something her father related to due to the loss of Merel's parents. Merel learned only much later that the reason they broke up was because she had lost her family during the same Breach that killed her own mother and father, and she held Egil acountable for her loss. her mind wandered again to the thought of losing family. Unlike that huntress, her name escaped Merel at the moment, Merel herself had not as much grief nowadays over the loss of her parents. she had only faint memories of them at the best of times, it had always been just Egil instead looking after her. She recalled that Alice Jager had had a similar experience, although she was older than Merel at the time, being four would have her able to remember the incident, unlike herself. Merel realized that as a third year Alice would most likely only be two years older than her, so her losing her parents would have happened around the same time-  No, maybe even at the same time!

Before she even realized what she had stumbled on the pieces were already falling together into a jumble of ideas that fitted too well to be true. Merel realized who Alice reminded her of now, that huntress from Vacuo! That same face, the hair, and the smile especially. She pretty much forgot to turn off the shower and almost tripped on her towel as burst out of the bathroom to grab her Scroll to call her dad...
