As expected for Jake there is still bitter resentment within avant rouge and trust may take a long time
As Jake alone was just eating in the cafeteria table but it was just him sitting
(Chewing)
While the girls whispers about Jake
Female Avant rouge 1 (whisper) : I still don't trust him
Female Avant rouge 2 (whisper) : even with that friendly introduction he's suspicious
Female Avant rouge 3 (whisper) : I know right bet he's just waiting for us to let our guard down for him to take advantage of us
But some familiar faces came by to sit with Jake
Unknown Avant rouge 1 : Jake!
Unknown Avant rouge 2 : how are you?
He smiles a bit
Jake : I'm good
He recalls not asking their names before
Jake : oh I never asked for your names
As they begin to introduce themselves
Shizuoka : I'm Shizuoka and their names are meimei and Mai
Mai : h…hi it's good to see you again
Jake : it's good to see ya
Meimei sits nexts to him
Meimei : how's your first day in here ?
Jake : I'd say it's good and all but nothing good hasn't been going well
Shizuoka : they're just jealous because Amagane speaks good things about you.
Jake : yeah maybe but there's so much I could do you know besides just run Errands
As the girls cheers Jake up
Meimei : don't things will be different I'm sure of it!
Mai : so please don't be sad okay !
Jake knowing they are trying to cheer him up made feel a bit happy
Jake : honestly you girls are great for making smile

Shizuoka : Amagane! It's good to you how was the mission ?

Hibana : hehe!
During his observation
Jake (thinking) : she seems to be Enjoyed by her praising
Amagane : so how was your first day on the job been?
Jake : I would say it was good but really theirs been some judgement against males and all
Jake begins to ask em a question that may seem personal to them
Jake : Amagane can I ask you a question unless it's personal my apologies

Jake : for some reason in my perspective or so , what happened ? to all of the girls here
Amagane was silenced for a few seconds but she answer

Jake : but not all of em I've seen it the girls here on this table were about to experience Something that could've traumatized them for life
Jake : to be honest with you how do think I felt almost watching the entire thing
Hibana : ...
Jake : it made me furious…and all I could think was kill the enemy
Amagane : Do men like you feel this way ?
Jake : yes …and all my people back in my void would feel but you don't know what men could do with their overwhelmed emotions
Amagane : honestly I'm surprised about it
Jake : yeah well not everyone is bad
As there was Silence for a second Amagane begins to think about
Amagane (thinking) : I've never met someone who given me a answer bluntly
Amagane : Jake
Amagane : I was thinking …how about if you could join us on a mission
Jake : if you think I could contribute more then yes I could
