Since Sir Nighteye didn't pick up the phone at his agency, De left a message: "Mr. Kantan, I have good news. Our union was successful - I am pregnant. Please come by the Mode Tower at your earliest convenience so we can proceed to the next phase of our contract. Thank you."

Since Silence and Che already knew, the eldest sister called Pe next.

Middle Sister: Hi, De. What's going on? Older Sister: I have some news for you. I am pregnant with Sir's child. Pe opened her mouth and paused for a moment before faking a happy tone and a faker smile. Middle Sister: Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. The elder Mode continued to talk but Pe didn't hear any of it. She responded automatically for a while and then saw that her sister had ended the conversation and hung up a while ago.

The designer put her phone down and tried not to be jealous - she really tried. She held her arms. She felt so envious that her sister got pregnant so easily then felt very guilty for feeling that way. She felt she should be happy for her sister, right? And for Sir? She should be so happy that they had conceived a child together...

Once Pe had calmed down after crying for a while, Mode dialed All Might's number to tell him the good news. He didn't pick up so she left a message for him instead: "Hey. So, I have some great news! De's pregnant with Sir's child! I'm so excited! That means I'm going to be an aunt... I just thought you should know since he was your sidekick in the past and all. I guess that's it. I hope we can see each other soon. Goodbye, Blondie."

All Might left the hospital room along with everyone else, the doctor and nurses having all the visitors leave the room since its occupant had passed. The man sat heavily on a bench, away from everyone else, and eventually glanced at his phone to distract himself. Just in case it was an emergency, he listened to his girlfriend's message. After it was over, his hand slowly moved his phone from his ear to his lap. He knew his voice wouldn't be stable enough to talk to her so he texted her.

AM: Sir Nigtheye is dead. PM: What? How? That was all her fingers could type. AM: A villain got him. That was all he could say.

It hit her – Did Kantan know, when they saw each other last, that that was the last time they would see each other? Did he know he was going to die so, if he was going to fulfill his obligation to the Mode company, the one he had agreed to, he had to impregnate De that day? He normally wasn't one to have sex with just anyone, for the pleasure of it or for procreation, but Pe now had the feeling he had her ramp up his arousal to maintain an erection with a person he felt no attraction toward and cum deep down inside her sister to conceive a child.

Mode thought she understood the man's motivation that morning at the Mode estate but she didn't understand the why – did Sir want to pass on his DNA before his death in the form of the next generation or was this some round-about way to be a part of All Might's life that he admired? Kantan didn't consider procreation with Pe when they had sex that morning because of her current relationship to the Symbol of Peace and he didn't have sex with her in a hole that would accidentally get her pregnant weeks ago for the same reason. Maybe her sister was just the most convenient vessel to bear his child? But why create a child whose life would never be a part of his own? She was left utterly confused.
