The next day was more of the same, with Mercy constantly trying to get close to Laz whenever she could and Laz staying one step ahead of her but making it seem purely like coincidence. On the same note, Laz noticed that whenever Mercy was around, Vera was not. It didn't seem like Vera was doing it on purpose, nor did it seem like Mercy was threatening or doing anything else to Vera. Instead, it was almost like something happened each and every time to make it possible. It truly would have seemed like something out of a badly written sitcom except for one fact; Laz didn't believe in coincidence.
