The next day, Lilith woke up in a familiar location. Ophelia’s apartment. Once she came to, Sixer quickly hugged her tightly and wiped her tears on her jacket. Ophelia was sitting on a chair next to them and wrote down her findings in a book. “Well, looks like you’re finally awake.” She said, putting down her pen and staring at the side of Lilith’s face. “...You got a little something there.” Lilith looked confused and turned to the window to see her reflection. There were two lines next to her right eye. When did she get that? “I understand you’re confused, but I can explain.” Ophelia continued as she pulled up an image of a green haired woman with similar markings. “This is a curse mark. A Greek witch discovered the existence of these long ago. It looks like you were one of the people who got one too… but if I remember, Ella said you vomited after a certain amount?”
“Yeah… 4… wait no, 5 times.” Lilith said with a somber expression as Ophelia got Slushie, her cat, for her to pet.
“Well then I think 5 times is your limit. Here’s my recommendations, no more than 5 times of using that curse mark a day. Your body may be able to handle it but your noggin can’t. Also, no billies needed. It’s on the house.” She says going back to work as Sixer and Lilith walk out together… So many things were going on in Lilith's mind, her dad’s death, Sixer’s moms supposed death, and the Steel Samurai… What is she supposed to do with herself? After getting some popcorn with Sixer… she looked up and turned to Sixer.
“Hey… How do I become a merc?” Meanwhile back at Saber co, Sho was upgrading his suit as Howler spins around in his chair, reviewing the footage of last night… until he saw the scene where Carlos killed himself… He replayed that scene over and over and realized something crazy… he was sane during those moments Lilith was there… Nonetheless, he decided to wait, because if Lilith is going where he thinks she’s going, there will be another Carlos sooner or later. He snaps his fingers as Phil looks up and walks over.
“Did you put the back ups back?” He asks as Howler nods.
“Of course. Who do you think I am?” the boss responds with a smile as he waves his gun around. “Anyways, get Sho, or whatever his name was, his upgrades and that’ll be all for today.”
“...But sir, what about the building?” Howler looks around and sees that the building is still destroyed and shakes his head.
