The unknown lifeforms were a well-kept secret
in the police station. It was more or less accepted that they couldn't do anything about them, but the fact that conventional weaponry was rendered useless didn't stop some of the braver ones from acting.
That's why, when one appeared at a crowded event involving a famous idol, the station finally decided to get off their ass and respond.
What they didn't expect was a fight between two unknowns to occur, which they watched from inside the area where the event was held.
Which leads us to now: "UNKNOWN LIFEFORM #2 STOP RIGHT THERE OR WE'LL SHOOT." Hikawa wasn't the shoot-first type; he was a goody-two-shoes if you ask a certain man in the investigation unit, but this was an unknown entity who had connections with a murderous race of things, so he wasn't taking any risks.
the unknown known as agito actually stoped which did comfrim one thing it could understand their lanuge.
His surrounding officers surrounded the creature. "Put your hands behind your back," Hikawa calmly ordered. He could see it could be reasoned with and was not violent.
Ai was happy to arrive at her apartment complex the one she planned to stay in for a few years with her lover and new additions to her family.
'Hopefully, I can still have this one big thing to myself,' she thought with a wistful expression on her face. As an idol, the parasocial obsession with her made it hard to keep anything secret.
She knocked on the door, not noticing the hooded figure with a knife coming straight after her.
"she betrayed us all, no more lies, she needs to die." Utterly sure in his delusions, he started to walk faster.

As he was about to close the distance, an older, imposing man wearing all black and sunglasses stepped out of his apartment and grabbed the assailant by the arm.
"Who are you?!" The panic in his voice was audible. The man who grabbed him was strong, inhumanly so.
"there is no need for you to know that ill be taking this." he then twisted the would be criminals arm in a certain way, making it snap, making the unnamed hooded figure drop the knife in shock.
the pain didn't even register by the time he let out his first cries of pain ai was already let safely inside her home.
it was needless to say that the police was called.
Unbeknownst to the three of them, there was a certain crow watching with an amused look on her face.
"Maybe darkness was right to fear the power of Agito, even an incomplete and twisted Agito can change the course of fate." She knew about Brent, but his presence was accounted for when the Seed first spread, as he was the first to gain it.
"but to think this one who was so close could hide from me like this." she let out a laugh. These agito weren't her problem. Once darkness came back, it would be nice entertainment.
In Brent's unprofessional opinion, the police station was nice, but he knew this wasn't the time to be admiring the scenery.
he was still transformed he wanted to stay this way until he got away from the police department for obvious reasons.
"Hey, answer me when I'm talking. You can speak, right?" Hikawa asked with genuine curiosity.
Brent just shook his head. The less they knew, the better. AI probably didn't want to be exposed like this.
"ok, can you write?" Brent just moved his head up and down in a yes gesture.
he grabbed a pen and paper and handed them to me.
"First thing and probably the most important thing: do you know why your kind attacks us?" I was a straightforward question that, for some reason, he couldn't answer.
Something clicked. He thought of the words of the creature earlier. It was after everyone like him. He wrote this information down.
"everyone like you what does that even mean."
The rest of the interview went like this, with no real questions answered.
"Alright, you are free to go!" Hikawa said excitedly as if he didn't have the person in front of him at gunpoint a few hours ago.
'what'
"we can't keep you legally go back to where ever came from."
Brent just got off the station, not knowing that Hikawa had just broken several rules regarding the new unknowns.

"ah back to human form." while it could be said that having all of that power is great there was something about the simplicity of being utterly human that felt good to brent.
"ai must be taking a nap with the kids right now that must feel nice." one of these days he was going to make ai feel like she was the best mother ever and crush that never-ending doubt she's burdened herself with.
with his mind steeled and prepared for the things he will have to explain he headed back to their shared apartment.
