Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVePlDFdHmh
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP1ndm4qbK
Not just any mobs either.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJkoVG8xFf
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVt1ca4GD2
These were twin field bosses.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk3Y4r40g4
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gelCkXOHH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdEfWF2xPV
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6STUd6Fvh
That, and they hated carrots.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Dyb2hrkA
Saito rolled his eyes at the thought, currently descending from the treetops he was waiting in. If his plan was correct then they’d converge at the same spot, around-
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLrRuyT5Vm
‘Now!’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCREZbq4uXH
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLO8bB5o7L
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgAjzDldSq
He caught Saito’s look, and as the two Ragus converged into the same spot, tongues, and fangs gnashing every which way, the players activated their skills.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xj7JdZnQ
Falling Sword 386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdY9xAjv3C
Fell Crescent
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRxacEc46p
Saito’s body seemed to elongate as he covered the final 4-meter distance within the span of 0.4 seconds. His eyes glinted wide as he swiftly plunged his luminescent, curved blade right into the White Ragu’s skull.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinPrQSP24
Jyun was a tad later, however, he made his presence clear, whipping his sword arm through the air and slicing right through the spinal apex of the mob’s back.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPH3XSQlgr
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zn22VbwLY
Saito grunted as he pulled for his weapon, now messily riding atop the White Ragu. Its skull felt like steel gnashing against Saito’s blade, and the curly-haired player growled with frustration.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUIv1YyFbe
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzNUiZRcb
As if over Saito’s antics, The White Ragu crashed into a nearby tree and fell straight through, sending the player and a bunch of forestries every which way.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0bRqJqQxA
“Cugh! Ack!” Saito coughed as his body skipped across the ground. He threw his free hand down to slow himself and forced his legs to stretch out and gain traction.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp86H7GIilD
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjAaAEUtkf
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoO3FSKuM
The Black Ragu rushed into the clearing right after its buddy, and Saito saw no Jyun. His Searching skill confirmed it. His eyes returned to their regular brown, the green glow fading, along with his patience.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNDuS9I52N
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOkGAFCPy
The lovely sound deafened Saito and left him frozen. He grunted, yet still could not move. Eyes wide, he spied his health bar, and indeed, his worst nightmares were true.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkSkR9s32
He’d been Stunned. The ten-second timer was already on 8, but it wouldn’t be fast enough, Saito was a goner, and it seemed the Ragu knew it too, a sickly smile coming to life on its hideous face.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmtk3kHQI
Saito grinned morbidly.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7Xmo4ZLZ
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8fDi5Q5oO
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzwophoKF5
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa6tjoRT4y
CLANG!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6SPjO687c
Saito’s eyes slowly widened as flecks of blonde flowed into his view. Slamming her pentagonal metal against those wicked claws, Kirie appeared out of nowhere.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqpJbNu8b
The green light emanating off her guard sputtered and burst through every moment of the clash and Kirie’s scarlet eyes bored daggers at the killer bunny.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzptrYG4ct6
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTjlQqMvyu
“Ragh!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBA5MCRA4H
Like magic, the Ragu’s claws were instantly thrown back as if ricocheted by an unknown force. This was thanks to her skill, Push, and it had been heavily upgraded since her first use of it back on Floor 1.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcxzoOhiqY
“Ren, pad! Go!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUZDUHk0G1
Saito looked back just in time to see a flash of red fly by. His head cocked back as his eyes took in the sight.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE26VLRDwmx
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIKzZDCBQ
The blonde lowered her hands from her previous parry and hunkered down keeping her shield above her. Another skill began to load up as Ren launched herself at the glowing metal.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xvXizkTI
As soon as Kirie felt Ren land, she flexed her muscles and ground her teeth, thrusting her body upward and throwing her arms into the air with, subsequently, Ren herself.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBlqC3PWIs
Red locks flying through the wind, Ren struggled to aim herself right where she wanted, but with a downward angle of her liking, she was ready.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo9XlTy8Rh
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI5iOOIS1F
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEIGGx0wQQ
New prey had been acquired, and Ren grinned like the madwoman she was, reeling her arm back. Her spear suddenly ignited with a blue flare and she sucked in as much air into her lungs as possible.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaJEzihwf2
“COME AND GET IT!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fKAQeKUrQ
The White Ragu catapulted into the air, aggroed to Ren and her alone. What would follow Ren’s banshee-like screech would be an animalistic show of strength, as the redhead chucked her spear with reckless abandon.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG858euikd
The polearm jettisoned through the air like a shooting star and when it impacted with the tip of the Ragu’s cranium, an azure, four-pointed shockwave blasted out from every which way.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uX2bkOc3t
VWEEE!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ2g2iEBH6
The spear spun at such a high velocity that Javelin Toss completely bored through the mob, blasting out the back of the boss and flying straight into the ground.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr018bWyCw9
WHOOM!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uS9czvrMU
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaA8FsxD7V
‘What the absolute-’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhBdALjJyT
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcwSgwiY6J
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sG0sZmfNB
Saito flourished his curved sword as Ren landed in a roll next to them, and Calder jogged up on the opposite side. With Kirie leading the charge, the four would join their compatriots in taking down what was essentially indistinguishable from a homeless person’s fever dream.

20 Minutes Later

“Are you who they say you are…? The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of u-unity? If so open your old heart to us, so that we can prove our worth as your… saplings? What the hell.”

…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApUWkwn4Ww
“Okay is that really what it says on there?” Ren asked, red hair swaying as she walked up next to Saito. She squinted, looking over his shoulder.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWplLm51MD
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkXkxO5Q6O
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yYfgTjs1C
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1YiXFWSXJ
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvNk8OqR5J
Irene, Tamashi, Calder, and Jyun all failed miserably at hiding their laughter and Saito’s subsequential glare aimed to pierce right through Trinity, who confidently smiled back.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9TAQXam1B
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjjKz2pPj
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcjFdCJ3Lb
Calder rubbed his chin with his free hand, his other crossed in his arms. “No one that we’ve talked to about the guild formation quest has ever given us the same answer.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfyO4DnxLD
Holi nodded. “That is true, the DDA said they had to secure a baby dragon, the ALS is rumored to have fought against a tribe of Blood Orcs, and the KOB won’t even release what they had to go through to complete the quest.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCZQxPhDR6
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyMCOSjuKE
“Or every quest is different.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJyxvKRBV8
Jyun nodded.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92eYgY0he
“Argo herself stated that guilds never had matched up stories. Accessing the quest was different, as well as completing it. Which means our experience will be completely original. Finding the smallest tree bark in the Wavering Forest was our first clue from the quest giver, but others may have had different beginnings.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMV3VKskF
“I like that.” Ren popped her fist into the palm of her other hand. “Gunning down our own path from the start. I can definitely get behind that. Let’s hurry this up, Saito, I wanna get a move on!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvbLZxOYX2
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVgkY7wCWA
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wqQ0GjJVC
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMAGGCnsx7
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRplukeGvjH
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtqK1KHg1Q
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TLUHUkpqa
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARy14TfyI8
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUaWlKeC05
Kirie’s deafening whistle would put a screeching stop to their antics, and Ren and Saito froze where they were. Kirie frowned and Irene covered her ears out of habit.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojPCNy9sF
They were about to get scolded.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDPJ3f4xEM
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYMHivGth
However, she soon calmed down.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXBXuCbZO
“Come on you guys, let’s be serious about this. Saito try one more time, and if it doesn’t work, you give it to Ren.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0NaNk03w3
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8OdNDN7XB
“Mhm.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCHH1iWUKS
“Got it, Kirie.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnkSeNnjm
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNl7iG18tV
“Saito.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFDclAgQud
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4ZOy7dQS
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDxoAYzCtz
“How you phrased the statement last time sounded like a question. This time, say it like you believe it. Maybe it needs more conviction in the words, like those old Lord of the Rings characters do.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASnp6xEFxI
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4F4ijdaqf
‘Wow, actual advice.’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2yHSpB5jn
“Right… okay.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75m4CdZFXL
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHT0AvsPWY
“Are you who they say you are?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLStnjnIdXs
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTYS0eN7G
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3sugESMSF
Ren took a step back, staring weirdly at the tree trunk in front of them. It began to crack, little by little, and she could’ve sworn little specks of light were shining through.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGspbcMWXBL
“Uhhh…”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3THPF8SX
“If so open your old heart to us…”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JBAmQc1SW
The winds picked up, and the light became brighter from inside the tree trunk. Calder and Jyun reached for their weapons, while Tamashi and Irene lowered their stances, Holi went to stand by Kirie who was now staring crazily at the shining tree.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eo8FDWHpH
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ck9yaDan5
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPPPxa1Oz
...and everything went quiet.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6l8gX59zo
The winds stopped.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BkAPL2sXO
The light dimmed.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrSlqSDL9l
The trees halted their rustle.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1o1tGXxS
No one in the group made a sound or a movement. They wouldn’t dare let a breath loose, for they could all sense this was the calm before whatever was going to-
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy0QtOcePL
Phoosh!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UYUd030XD
The tree suddenly split in half as a light beamed from within, then expanded. Saito and his friends were assaulted with a brilliant light, covering their faces and shrinking away from the marvelous shine.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusSUmSUBsD
Saito tried to reach out with his other senses, relying on his Listening skill to hear anything outside of the curses and yelps of his group mates.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNG2uUd7bW
Then he heard it, something very telltale to his ears. He’d played enough MMOs and heard enough corridor crystals break to remember that noise, and remember it well.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxGbjL2Hb
“Is that-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUOOjJ3oTb
“Woah, guys,” Ren spoke up over the others, prompting them to slowly lower their guards. When Saito dropped his arms and dared his eyes open, he would see Ren gazing forward, her brown orbs focused on something they couldn’t pry away from.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqOgRh3r73
So he decided to look too.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsYj86IfaJ
And boy, did he empathize.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsHr9UEm7i
There, encompassed within the circular construction of the old tree, a mass of golden energy swirled within itself, the humming of kinetic power tickled against Saito’s eardrums, and his mouth split into a big grin.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uNs9Jnzci
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutI2CKuA5T
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycVni3AOWh
“Let's goooo!!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8raEe9hDN
“Yayyy!!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XmfLeRdd6
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y2aGEtDyv
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJuZi3O9nM
However, the information was correct. The good Argo delivered once again. Before Saito could speak, Ren strode forward ahead of him and turned to the group.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYysL2tAtb
At that moment, the portal glistened behind her, its golden light accentuating the highlights of red in her hair, like the deepest flame you’d ever seen.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgIL01hgBY
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfxOpdQYfG
“I’ll take one group, and Saito will take another. Since we’re more than 6 we can’t all be in the same party, so we’ll work together in two groups.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCjGZy1jNO
She opened her menu with a downward swipe of her hand and began to equip her Labyrinth armor, as did everyone else. They were down on Floor 3 so they didn’t really need much protection from mobs.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4MtbvGBZM
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzvo6UqFb
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHfwVCb86p
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiHzFYRg30
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1P7ay6zwe
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOlGDVuHB9
“We’re only doing this for precaution. Considering this is a guild quest, the system may try us all as one party for this special occasion.” Ren interjected.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHNi7ipmyj
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQr8FBjy6
“Remember, every guild has given us different answers about the quest. Assume nothing about this and stick to your groups, but beyond that, stay together.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8AWRH94v
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzSYGXpu7u
“Don’t worry about your backs, I got them. Just move forward.” She said, slipping her brand new heater shield to her arm, and tightening the strap, its surface hissing with forlorn. She then unsheathed her broadsword.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnV11ayPpi
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hz4Hezp5w
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzjMuqyF0q
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwOc0Ahvz
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyvEbWcfOn
Saito gulped hard.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrXxLoeoH
With that swallow went his retort, his add-ons, and any facial hint of disagreement or qualm. He sucked it up and breathed it out, expending it slowly and surely from his system.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sVjHtpL8n
When he opened his eyes again they were half-lidded, calm, and calculating. As Ren and Kirie continued with instructions and words of encouragement, Saito inspected his team silently. Said eyes flitted through the various members of this little group and his mind’s engine flipped on.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡact9osjKz6
