After Adam had defeated Toban, he dragged him over to Felix's side.
"Yo, Felix! Orion! Where are you- woah!" [Adam]
He found Felix and Orion embedded into the walls, unconscious while somehow sticking to the surface.
"The hell happened here?" [Adam]
"They bit off more than they could chew." [Toban]
"Shut up." [Adam]
"Is that how you treat someone helping you?" [Toban]
"Is that how you threaten someone who's holding you hostage?" [Adam]
"..." [Toban]
"Thought so." [Adam]
Adam released his grip on Toban and pointed a finger downwards.
"Stay." [Adam]
"...Do you think I'm a dog?" [Toban]
"Obviously not. That would be an insult to dogs." [Adam]
"I can't tolerate this." [Toban]
Feeling very frustrated and annoyed, Toban turned to leave.
("Krino.") [Adam]
"I know." [Krino]
A flash of lightning struck the ground at Toban's feet, causing him to stumble backwards and fall in surprise.
"Holy-! What the hell?!" [Toban]
A sword was left in the lightning's afterglow, leaving Toban in awe.
"A… sword? Isn't this…" [Toban]
"My soul weapon. I bet you recognize it from the warehouse?" [Adam]
Toban reached out to touch the handle, only to pull it back after getting shocked by blue sparks.
"...Did you just try to touch my sword?" [Adam]
"No…?" [Toban]
"He did." [Krino]
Adam stared at Toban for a moment before turning to Orion and Felix.
"Phew…" [Toban]
"Hey, Adam. Do you mind if I fry him if he tries to touch me again?" [Krino]
("Be my guest.") [Adam]
Passing off Toban as a minor nuisance, Adam plucked Orion and Felix out of the walls.
"Damn. How am I supposed to explain this?" [Adam]
"Do we know anyone with healing abilities?" [Krino]
("I… don't think so?") [Adam]
"Are you sure?" [Krino]
("Uh… pretty sure?") [Adam]
"What about Roy?" [Krino]
("What does Roy have to do with this? His ability is acceleration.") [Adam]
"Put two and two together." [Krino]
Adam went silent.
("I'm not going to ask him for help.") [Adam]
"Okay, then what about Tiffany?" [Krino]
("Eh…") [Adam]
"What do you mean eh?" [Krino]
("I'm… I'm not ready.") [Adam]
"...Excuse me?" [Krino]
Krino was baffled.
"You're not ready. How?! You're not asking her out on a date!" [Krino]
("Yeah, but that would be weird to suddenly show up at her house.") [Adam]
"My god… You're actually stupid. All you need to do is go over, and ask her to heal Felix and Orion!" [Krino]
("Bro, no. She's going to get weirded out!") [Adam]
"By what?!" [Krino]
("She's going to wonder why I know her address.") [Adam]
"You walked her home once! Of course you would know!" [Krino]
("That's the problem! It was only once! What kind of guy memorizes the route by traveling only once?!") [Adam]
"Check your left." [Krino]
Adam felt stupid after looking at his left shoulder.
("Felix doesn't count.") [Adam]
Krino sighed at Adam.
"Fine. We won't go meet Tiffany. Then we're back to square one. Either that, or we go for Roy." [Krino]
That was Adam's cue to sigh.
("God I hate that guy.") [Adam]
"Then are we bringing our injured friends to Tiffany?
("I never said I wasn't going to go.") [Adam]
"Roy it is." [Krino]

Somewhere far away…
"Hachoo!" [Roy]
Sniffling from a sneeze, Roy glanced around.
"Is someone talking about me?" [Roy]
