The night passed quietly for the trio. When the morning arrived, they finally woke up, feeling way more refreshed than before.

After a quick breakfast, Kai had to leave quickly to meet with Eva since he had to deal with her enrollment and other important stuff. Meanwhile, Kaya went out to buy groceries with Aria. The house was empty of food after the 5 days they were away.

Kai met with Eva in the same park before to discuss what Eva should do exactly to enroll into the academy and the plan was rather simple. "You will have to meet Ethia again and ask her to let you enroll. She will most likely ask you for the reason you changed your mind and you will answer that you have seen how good the academy is and how you want to study there to better your understanding of Divinity with the high potential of possibly joining them in the future." Kai explained to Eva as he tapped his finger rhythmically on his thigh.

"What makes you think she would buy that?" Eva asked curiously as she sipped on the coffee she bought with her.

"She won\'t buy it." Kai replied.

"Then wh-"

"She will still accept it as a legitimate reason because she wants you to join the academy. It doesn\'t matter what you say, she will take it." "I see. That makes sense. But, what if she decides to put some conditions for this enrollment to happen?" Eva asked.

"She won\'t put any conditions. But, in case she does, you just put pressure on her and threaten her with not joining Divinity. You would be a great addition to the organization and Ethia knows that so she will compromise just to satisfy you." "..." Eva nodded her head silently as she looked down. Kai noticed that her expression changed so he asked her. "What\'s up? Got any ideas?"

"No. I\'m just… I\'m just happy that I will be able to stay by your side. I never expected this to happen, so it still feels like a dream in a sense."

"I have told you before. This isn\'t a dream. Even if you believe it is, I will tell you that it is not." Kai said calmly. "I will always remind you that this isn\'t a dream... For the rest of our lives."

"..." Eva felt speechless as she didn\'t expect him to say something like this. She was so moved that her heart started beating wildly and her eyes began watering. Her mouth was open slightly as her eyes couldn\'t leave Kai\'s face.

Kai\'s words truly touched her deeply and the emotions that surged through her at that moment weren\'t merely in the spur of the moment. Kai\'s words felt far more intense than a mere confirmation of reality. It felt like a proposal, or a long lasting oath that he created between the two of them.

He didn\'t propose, but it still felt like he did.

And Eva didn\'t mind this feeling one bit.

She didn\'t even realize that tears were sliding down her cheeks until they reached her lips.

"You\'re always the best." She murmured as a beautiful smile bloomed on her face and her clear eyes sparkled with a thousand emotions.

"I hear that too often." Kai replied with a casual shrug.

"You\'re so full of yourself. Don\'t let your ego grow too big, or else you will have problems walking!" Eva pinched his arm and pulled hard. Her face was a mix of happiness and tears.

So, Kai simply pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and started wiping her tears gently. "My ego has always been big. What do you expect?"

"I don\'t know. Maybe to shrink a bit?" Eva said as she sniffled.

"No can do." Kai replied. "To keep you and the others safe, I need this."

Eva rolled her eyes playfully before she smiled again. "So dramatic~" Then, she stopped speaking as she allowed Kai to simply wipe her eyes and face. his gentle touches made her heart beat even harder.

It took them a few minutes until Kai finished wiping her tears. He then stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket and pulled Eva\'s hands, helping her stand up.

"Let\'s go now. We need to get you things to settle down." He said.

Eva nodded and walked next to him. She didn\'t want to pull her hands away, so she didn\'t and they walked like that.

They headed toward the heart of the city where all the shops were situated. They bought all the necessities she would need, such as clothes, accessories, toiletries, and others. They didn\'t need to look for apartements since Eva had a few in this city and other cities nearby because of her family\'s bussiness

It was when they were heading to a restaurant for lunch, that Kai recieved a call from Kaya.

"Hello?" He picked up.

"Kai! Where are you right now?" Kaya\'s panicked voice reached his ears, making him frown.

"Kaya, calm down." He said, feeling a little bit concerned. "What happened?" He asked with a frown. Kaya rarely panicks this hard. Not even in situations where others would be completely crushed with stress.

"The old man... He... He\'s on TV and he\'s..." Kaya seemed hesitant to speak and also unable to find the words to describe what she saw.

"Hold one, old man? Mikayla?" Kai squinted his eyes as he signaled for Eva to stop. She did and stared at him, waiting.

"Y-yes... He\'s on TV and is..."

"Is...?"

***

15 minutes before the call, back in the apartement, Kaya and Aria just came back from the market and were organizing the food in the kitchen. That\'s when Kaya decided to open the TV for some background noise. However, the moment the screen was turned on, the news chanel appeared in front of her eyes and on it wsa the reporter talking while an image of someone Eva was very familiar with could be seen. It was her old man, Mikayla.

"...and we just recieved a news that the previous head of the Raullot family, Mikayla Raullot has published a very odd video where he declared some information that shook the whole world. The ex-bussiness man and military general seemed rather perturbed and panicked as he spoke to a fidgety camera. Next is the footage from the video."

Kaya\'s eyes widened in shock when she heard the reporter. Her mouth opened to speak, only for it to close again. She simply stared at the screen and watched the video with Aria.

On the screen appeared a dark scenery of what seemed to be an unknown room. The sound of someone fidgeting with the camera could be heard before the angel was adjusted, revealing the face that Kaya knew very well. Mikayla could be seen with messy clothes, a tired expression and eyes full of panic and fear. He had a very weird expression on his face as if he doesn\'t know what to say or do. He simply put the camera down before he rubbed his messy hair.

"Hello everyone. If you\'re seeing this footage... That means I\'m dead."
