Holy fuck..

That ex-admin.. he cut through all the guards I brought with me like they were paper..

Holy fuck..

That ex-admin.. he cut through all the guards I brought with me like they were paper..

[The stuff Infra said would be transported to his home never arrived, so he was just here to pick it up.]

[He knocked on the door, hoping to get this over with.]

Though, a semi-familar face opens the door. They had a rifle across their back, that heavy duty coat around their shoulders, and– Why is the accountant dressed as a guard?]

"Stephan?"

[Raven moves their hair to see Stephan with both of their eyes.]

"What brings you here?"

[They knew he resigned, oh, long after Infra's crime against Arceus. It was one of the main reasons Infra broke down often. They kept repeating how they murdered one of their brothers and made the other leave. The latter referring to Stephan.]

[For once, his hair wasn’t covering his eye, showing off

1. The bags they had

and 2. His heterochromia.]

[He didn’t really have much of an opinion on Raven, mainly cause this is maybe the third time he’s seen them in his life. But they seemed fine.]

Sorry for intruding like this, but I didn’t think it would be much better if I just left it all here.

[Down the numerous halls and stairs, Raven leads Stephan back all to a familiar place. Which is, unfortunately, Coruscis's old office. Seems like Infra has holed themselves back in it again since the late boss's death.]

"Would you like to talk to them? Or would you rather I?"

[It's a genuine question. Raven doesn't fully understand the story, but they've taken Infra's perspective, at least. That included how disgusting the scene was; Something that they know Stephan, let alone her, would never want to see.]

[It’s still Infra, still the same one who’s helped lift up his confidence throughout this whole thing.

He can’t just completely abandon them just cause of one thing, right?]

[He knocks on the office door, hoping this doesn’t go horribly.]

[Raven steps a few away from them, out of eye and distance from Infra's perspective at least.]

[It takes a moment for Infra to crack open the door. Their visor over their eyes, but Stephan can still see them widen as they recognize the former guard.

The door fully opens from there as Infra simply looks solemn.]

"It's nice to see you."

[Their foot taps again. A nervous habit. They let out a shaky breath.]

"I–I guess you got word on the things I tried to get delivered to you?"

[Infra moves their visor up towards their hair. They also look tired, but they also look wide awake given the circumstances.]

"I–I'm sorry. I genuinely wasn't expecting to see you again. Ever."

[They had accepted it at this point. They stutter in their words just seeing Stephan. Infra knows they look stupid.]

[Stephan walks in, adjusting his hair so it covers his right eye once more.]

I just.. wanted to get my stuff.

[He was still wearing his guard outfit, strangely, just without the coat that was usually slung over his shoulders. Maybe he had yet to go shopping for clothes.]

…How are you holding up?

"Well, as best as I can get. Coruscis's will didn't appoint anyone, so far we don't have a boss. I've done most to everything though. Again."

[They shake their head. Coruscis didn't want to appoint Infra. Because that's what happened to him from Terastalis.

And everyone knows what happened there.

No matter. The box.]

"Terastalis had it in his will that he wanted to promote you. There's a special rifle of sorts along with proper ammunition. Coruscis then appointed his old rifle and uniform to you. They're both in here. Unloaded, of course."

[Infra sighs through their nose.]

"...I'll reiterate what I've said. Your time here is appreciated. Immensely. I hope you find a good opportunity that supports you."

[It's the closest Infra is going to say "I miss you," along with, "I wish you well."]

[He stared down at the box.]

…Infra, you obviously need to get away from this place for a little bit.

And.. you’re probably the closest thing I have to a friend, so..

May I offer that you, and Raven if you’d like, come and see my farm home in Galar for a little bit?

I could use a little company anyways.

"We both know I would have taken a break if I could. But we also know this place would fall apart without me."

[Infra taps their foot, again. A nervous habit.]

"I'd love to take your offer, but I'm going to have to decline. I got shit to clean here. Again."

[With what Rain did... Oh, boy, Infra was in for a long ride.]

"... Thank you though."

I.. I understand.

Keep in touch.

[He walked away, saying one last thing as he did so.]

[The stuff Infra said would be transported to his home never arrived, so he was just here to pick it up.]
