...
The day after my excursion to Millennium, I got a text from a surprising person.
It's Suzumi, Sensei.
Suzumi! Haven't heard from you in a while.
Yes, I've been quite busy with things here in Trinity. The district is quite tense considering the Eden Treaty is coming ever closer.
Ah, right. I'd heard about that.
Yes, and considering what happened to Miss Seia a while back, things have been quite hectic here.
Fortunately, I have had some off moments.
Like now?
Precisely.
I just wanted to remind you that, as I mentioned before, let me know if you need an escort.
I'll gladly take you to your destination safely.
Thanks, Suzumi.
Hey, you wanna escort me for a while?
I don't see why not.
I'll meet you in front of the Schale building soon.
Well this was a pleasant surprise.
Still... Seia? I recall seeing that name somewhere before. Considering Suzumi called her 'Miss', she must be a higher-up of some sort.
Eh, I'll look it up later.

As I left the Schale building, I called out to Suzumi. "Yo."
"Ah, there you are, Sensei." The white haired girl greets, smiling. "Please tell me your destination. I'll escort you."
"Geez, don't be so stiff." I chide. "I more or less wanted some company is all."
"You just... wanted company...?" Suzumi asks slowly, her face a bit red. "S-Sensei! I would've come as a companion rather than an escort instead!"
"I suppose I could've worded my text better." I admit. "Though, you don't have to hang out with me if you're busy."
She smiles. "You don't need to concern yourself with my Vigilante Crew workload. It isn't as though you're tearing me away from a job I love."
"Eh? Then why do you do it?" I ask, thrown for a loop.
"Well, truthfully, I hope the day comes where this city won't need a Vigilante Crew anymore." She admits.
"That's a rather nice thing to say." I praise.
"You must be mistaken. Others would rather stay away from me because I seem cold." Suzumi scoffs. "Not that I don't understand. It simply comes with the territory of this line of work... Thank you for saying that, though." She adds, her face a slight bit red. "Let's go, Sensei. I'll lead- I mean... Let's walk together." She says, smiling.
"What're we waitin' for then?" I ask, returning the smile, as the two of us begin to walk alongside one another through the city.

"Ah. Here it is." Suzumi says. She asked if I wanted to go somewhere with her, but didn't say where. "This is a cafe I enjoy. Would you care to join me?"
Sure enough, we've stopped in front of a small, outdoor cafe. It's rather cozy, all things considered.
"I'd love to." I smile.
