After the Shooting crime, the people fixing their things and Risa was brought to the building's Infirmary.

As her frustrations grow deeper inside, her voice starts too sound distorted and she starts to breathe heavily.

Hana tried to hug her tightly, but it was not enough to suppress her feelings.

While Hana is hugging her. Risa was trying to say something, but it was unclear to most of them, and then she collapsed.

It is normal for most people to be worried about her. But Armstrong went speechless on what he saw.

He thought that the bizarre situation was only his imagination but when looked around. He was not the only one dreadfully speechless.

Only a few were in the same state as what he noticed and as the other women left with Risa, He noted them as fast as he could.

The women brought Risa to the building's Infirmary. There, they laid Risa on the bad and Hana volunteered that she will keep an eye up until she wakes up.

As she was left sitting beside Risa, she felt deeply saddened on how the lady's courage shattered in front of everyone's eyes.

After a few minutes, As time grows by with her watching Risa, she starts to feel strange. She starting to feel cold sweat running through, and her limbs are trembling.

Hana thought to herself, "Is this what you called, fear or worse it might be... terror?"

As she stands up and was about to open the bed's curtain and leave. All of what she felt suddenly gone when Risa groans.

She looked back even after what she felt.

"Hana? Is that you?" Risa softly said.

Hana, who is at the end of her bed replied back to her, "Yes. Do you need anything?"

"Can we talk?" Risa asked, even after what she felt, she ignored them thinking it was only her imagination.

She helped her to sit on the bed. As she laid her hands on to her shoulders, she felt a grave murderous intent gazing at her but it was all gone when Risa held her hand.

"Are you okay? you looked pale. Are you tired?" Risa asked her and she just shook her head. 

Risa tapped on her bed twice to offer it to Hana. "Here! Why not you lay down for a couple of minutes?"

She then declined the offer and changed the topic, "what do you want to talk about?"

"Just as I thought. it is not enough. I've relied too much on myself." Risa said to her, and she pats Risa's shoulder.

"It is something we can't help and also we didn't expect it to happen. You've done great." Hana said trying to cheer up Risa.

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Ms. Hana ." Risa said. Hana is curious about her choice of the song and asks her, "There were so many songs to play with why 'You are my sunshine by Johnny Cash' and why the man will run after hearing Coco's 'Remember me' song?"

"If the man heard the Coco's song he will run across the road thinking that he needs to see his daughter, but the other song is the one brings back memories about his wife who just died recently. 

He remembers how his wife loves him so much." Risa explains and Hana was amazed at how great Risa to figure things out up to that extent.

After Risa calmed herself they went back to the Captain's Room.

"Risa, good that you're back. Don't feel down anymore, okay!" Armstrong cheers Risa up but she still is not smiling.

"Tell us, if you need something. I'm expecting your cooperation most and also for the past years we've come to a point where I should say 'Great'." Armstrong said.

Risa got ticked from what she heard sadly answered. "Yeah. it was great."

Armstrong reviewed the great things that happen and compared with their previous progress.

While he is discussing, Ron notice that Risa is not listening. As he looks at her face that she's out of her mind and spacing-out.

"Captain, I think Risa is not even interested in this. She is not even listening." Ron said and Risa raises her head.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I still don't feel well. I'm sorry again," Risa said, excused her and go to the ladies room.

After she washed her face she went out to the ladies' room and Ron was waiting on her outside.

"Will you stop spacing-out already. Do you think that you're the only one who is affected by what happened? Do you see all of them are keeping their composure and tries to cheer you up." Ron said and Risa ignored him.

Risa tease Ron by responding, "So, is that your way of cheering me up? You brought me here, treated me like a criminal and now you're cheering me up? Don't bullshit me, Ron." Risa said and he got pissed on what she said.

"Hey! Those people back there and even Capt. Armstrong are people who are far greater than you! Don't think highly of yourself and just get over it already!" Ron madly shouted and return back to the room.

Risa also returned to the room. Armstrong felt strange as the two evading each other and Ron doing his habit of popping his fingers when gets mad.

"Are you guys okay?" Armstrong asked and both of them replied yes at the same time. They looked at each other and looked away.

"Okay? if that's what you said. No fighting inside this room or even this building," Armstrong said and they apologize to him.

"As I said earlier, Risa can't do this alone. So we've come up with a team whose history in this work and their records are both remarkable.

Risa interrupted Armstrong while talking. "I'm sorry Captain but is it okay if I build my own team instead?"

Ron clicked his tongue and said, "Captain, didn't even discuss yet the candidates and yet you thinking highly of yourself again suggesting to build your own team?"

Risa got pissed from what she heard and say, "If you that's what you are thinking, that those guys on the screen, are the best!? Then why didn't you brought them here instead!?"

"Risa! Ron! That's enough!" Armstrong said and both of them backed down.

"It's okay Ron. If Risa feels more comfortable with people whom she working with that's okay. Is it okay Risa if I got to meet them in person." Armstrong asked and Ron looked away from her.

"I will bring them here, Captain," Risa said Eagerly and secretary Hana entered the room and whispered something to the captain.

"I'm sorry Risa. We can leave these things to you, right?" Armstrong asked and Risa said to not to worry about it anymore.

"For now, I your family is waiting outside for you." Armstrong and Risa checked her phone but it was empty already.

"We are dismissed. Ron, I know you have some conflicts with Risa but for now, stay close to her and attend to what she needs." Armstrong said, leaving Ron with no Choice and followed Risa to the Building's entrance.

Just inside the Building's entrance. As Ron and Risa walk to meet up with her family. Risa felt the same vibe coming from a group of employees near them.

Ron got surprised as she blocked them. 

"Please stop, don't go there." She said to them and all of them got confused as what she said."I'm sorry, miss but I think you are not making any sense here. we are just going out to eat." said by one of the people in the group.

"You all know what I mean. So don't go back here and seek help." Risa dared them and Ron Pulled her out of their way and apologized to them.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked her and as they all went away and Risa saw Momo, Mr. Harley and Mrs. Reese.

They embraced each other and Risa thought that they might scold or hurt Ron, so she pulled them immediately into the cafeteria.

"Is it okay, Ron? If I may just come back here after two days, we will be going to meet my teacher." Risa said, Ron nodded, said he will tell Captain Armstrong about it and excuse himself from them.

Within the two days, she asked. Risa spent those days together with the couple and her friend. She also asked Momo to go with her and visit a grave. They bought flowers for the grave.

As they visit the grave, Momo thought it was a relative's grave but when she asked Risa. She said it was a friend's family who died years ago.

They cleaned the grave, lit up a candle, and prayed.

Momo felt someone is watching and was about to stand but Risa stopped her and said to continue praying with her.

The next day, Risa goes back to the embassy. Ron is waiting outside and she asked Ron to go to a park with her. There, Ron taught that Risa will meet someone like a spy or a casual man or even a vendor but to his surprise, she stopped to a dirty beggar who's drinking liquor.

"Good morning Teacher." Risa said to the beggar and he just continues to drink his rum."Risa? I don't see why are bowing there." Ron said as he looks closely on the beggar and steps back as the smell stings his nose.

"Teacher. Please lend us your strength, I cannot do this alone, we need your help." Risa begged and even lowered her head.

Ron is pulling Risa's shoulder up. "Risa! stand up why a-", a bottle shard flew towards Ron but Risa pushed him and avoided the shard.

"You vermin!" Ron shouted, was about to charge to the beggar but Risa stopped him.

"I'm sorry, It is my fault. Don't blame them. I've come here because I need your assistance." Risa begs again and Ron still dumbfounded as to why Risa lowers her head.

The beggar stood up. "Hey, kid! Do you want to know why Risa is lowering her head?" the beggar said to Ron and he looked at him furiously.

"Please stop, teacher. This has nothing to do with him, please stop blaming him." Risa beg, Ron getting confused as to what he did.

"Let me give you a piece of advice, kid. news spreads even if no one talks, but the truth shall only be served to those who seek." the beggar said, began to walk and throw away his liquor.

"Ron, Can you please get coffee for us?" Risa asked Ron and he nodded. "2 mocha's please." She added.

As Ron walks away from them Paul sat on the edge of the bench and Risa tried to sit beside him but he persistently told her to side on the other end.

"So. How are you, Paul? Are you okay?" Risa asked looking at Paul who is seated far away from her.

"You are not answering me, Paul. Should I say that you're fine and doing well?" She asked again, tried to move closer but Paul moves away also.

"Princess, forgive me, I'm so ashamed to even look at you now. Even my presence is cowering itself as it knows that it is not worthy even to see you here." Paul responded and she smiled at him.

Risa thinking that he will just move away again if she comes near him, she instead leaned herself towards him.

"Paul? Why are you so stubborn?" Risa asked and Paul just looked away.

"You're coming with me. I'm not leaving here until you come with me." Risa said and Paul thought that the place is already not comfortable for Risa to stay and felt more ashamed if she stayed longer.

But Risa on the other end enjoys herself while looking at the people passing by.

Paul sees a family happily walking and started to ask Risa. "Princess?" Risa Responded with a hum.

"Do you still remember when you first found me?" Paul asked and look at Risa.

Risa responded with a question. "Yeah. What about it? It was way back before but I still do remember it. Why?"

"I'm worst back then. I was a great detective before but it all ends after I lost her." Paul said and began to recall his story.

"It was three years ago. it was a rainy day. I remember you told me to keep my pride down and humble myself but I never listened to you." Paul continued and Risa looked at him.

"An Organization haunted my family but still I didn't seek help from others and my pride ate me. I Lost my family." Paul continued.

"Do you still remember what did I tell you at that time?" Risa asked as she stands up.

"You hugged me and stayed with me in this same park for the whole night seated in this bench. You ask me if I know what's the difference between pride and confidence. I said yes and elaborated them to you.

You laughed at me saying, 'Don't tend to complicate things on your own. It's simple. Confidence is a feeling and Pride is a Sin.'

I did not understand it at first but you explained it further. 'Being confident brings joy,

excitement hope and attracts good things like success and fulfillment but being prideful on the other way will lead you to the other sins.'

You told me to take your hand and come with you, I asked you why me? Is it because you're pitying me? You responded on a cheerful tone saying. 'You don't look pitiful to me. it's because I wanted to be your friend, Paul.'

That's the time I felt your warmness. you're extremely shinning to my eyes that night. Pride blinded and numbed me but your words showed me away and made me feel alive again."

"So. Paul? Are you willing to take my hand again this time?" Risa asked while reaching her hand to Paul.

"But, princess. I don't think after my failures and lack of strength who brought you to demise If I'm still worthy to be on your side." Paul answered doubtfully.

"Paul quit being stubborn. I didn't come here to tell these things to you. To pick you up is the reason why." Risa said and Paul hid his hands.

"But, princess. I'm just a beggar now, I'm poor, my skill was all rusted and I'm zero I don't have anything." Paul said as he still refuses to take Risa's hand.

"Paul, Zero is the beginning of Everything. Go back home, skills can be sharpened from time to time. What I need most is you on my side, from where we can do a lot of things, right!?" Risa cheerfully said and Paul takes her hand and stands up.

"We're friends, right? I know I should have come sooner. I'm sorry because I lost them again and now I need your help. I know you will follow what I said, okay?" Risa continues and Paul still feeling sad.

"We've fought together as you protected me, your ally. I felt grave shame for not protecting you back." Paul said but Risa shook her head.

"Oh my! Have I ever told you to protect me? I just need you to stay close to me " Risa asked him back.

"Thank you for bringing the flowers again, Princess," Paul said.

"Don't mention it. Wait? How do you know it was me?" Risa asked and they started to walk.

"You also stayed with me at their funeral. I always saw you from time to time that you're visiting them and the last time I went there I saw the same flowers you always bought still fresh and you left the note in there saying that we will meet soon." Paul explained.

"So it was you who are watching from there. Thanks, Paul. Now that I have you we're going to find Miko." Risa said and Paul let go of her hand.

"I'm not coming with you, princess. Can you give me 3 days to prepare?" Paul said and Risa nods back at him.

"Okay. three days is fine but don't make me wait further. Okay!?" Risa cheerfully said and Paul walked away.

"Huh? where is he going? Here are your mochas. I'm sorry the line took so long." Ron said.

"That's okay. Let's just drink them in the car." Risa said and Ron frowned and muttered, "But I want a frappe."

Risa was thinking, as Ron started the car and puts on his seat belt, "I left the flowers but who left the note?"
