Lunch is cooked. It’s on the dining table. Going to Gov building.
Ah geez. She should really steer clear of that building.
Francis pauses as the guard addresses himn he smiles.
“Ah, yes. But do you know, good sir?”
Electrical charges condense at the tip of the blade. In a quick movement, he stabs a guard in the shoulder and slashes it at another.
“I, Francis, am the cause of those events!”

The wounded guards look wide-eyed. Those uninjured call for backup, as those attacked attempt to tackle Francis while creating commotion, hoping for assistance from the public.
“Topple the government! Destroy order! Let fate progress in a branch it had never entered before!”
He roars as he storms the building, entering deeper into the building.
“Now, where can I find someone important enough to take hostage?”

Daniel is unable to see the masked man’s expression. He simply takes the rod, and brings it across Daniel’s back once more.
…
Meanwhile, the other masked man continues his alternate interrogation.
“You’re nothing but a pathetic freak. You’re going to spend your last hour of life, here, rotting away before my very eyes, and I’ll enjoy every second. Before you greet whatever “Legend” awaits you in hell, revoke your sins. Beg for forgiveness, and perhaps you’ll be spared.”
The rod comes down against Daniel’s back once more. The pain gets progressively worse with each strike.

Seeing the huge claws moving in, Francis eyes widen and he retreats.
“Never again, you hear?! This mortal will not be bleeding! My blood will not taint this planet!”
Hearing the soft murmurs, Francis turns his head, to see Laura.
He pauses.
Then he turns to face Rito again.
“Tell me, bear. What is a life to you? Is it good to be alive? Is one life more important than another? How does one calculate the value of a life?”
