The next morning&mdash;

I woke up to a ceiling to white. Four walls decorated with checker patterns. ....My head hurts. Where am I? "Are you awake?" A familiar voice rang. Nelo. Right. I was drinking last night. Did he brought me here? Nelo's arms are crossed. His eyes trained on me with a sharp piercing glare, scowling even. It's as if he's looking at a pile of garbage.

"Where am I?" "A motel." "Hold on, how'd we even get a motel late at last night?" "Sophie arranged it." "Sophie? Did she said anything particular?" Great. I forgot, just because I'm drunk doesn't negate that fact that Sophie can still talk to Nelo. "Something about your glory days back in Chiara." "Glory days....right. That's it?" For a moment, Nelo's expression briefly turned somber. "She's...nevermind." Nelo looked at me, his lips locked, then looked away. Again with the last second "nevermind" cutoff. The last time Nelo pulled this, he brought up something I really don't want to know. "This baiting me into having you divulging something uncomfortable with 'nevermind' isn't going to be a trend, is it?" Nelo sighed. "All I'm gonna say is, once you've finished your business in Chiara, you should have a talk with Sophie." .... Giving me a leeway, huh? "I'll keep that in mind." "Red, I'm serious." Well that's uncharacteristic of him.

"Since when do you care so much?" "I don't. I just don't like being dumped with your additional baggage. By the way-" Oh shit, there's more?

"Next time if you're drinking to get drunk, give me a head's up." "Right, sorry." I guess that's on me.

"Before I hurl, did Sophie say anything about our arrangement?" "The arrangement should be done in this early afternoon. Better recover before then." "Afternoon, huh?" I don't know whether it's the hangover, Nelo's impression of Sophie or a combination of both, but it's been a while since I felt so sick. Uneasy thoughts began swarming inside me, it's been one thing after another.

"Hey, Nelo? I'd like to be alone for awhile. Can we meet back here later?" "You gonna be alright?" "Yeah I just want to organize my thoughts." "Alright, take care." Nelo waved his hand, then left.

Now, then....
