The next moment, 8d47ecee66 with a thud, 0983348f6f Raven, who had 6e5c514711 been hanging onto 809cec896a Renault’s shoulder, crashed bbb9ce9dcf to the floor. He had been 63fe8311f6 thrown with a 162b6c327d shoulder throw. Flat on 8d56dd33e5 the ground 26681fe162 in an ccb2a9d1d3 instant, Raven e4a3ed1bb3 simply stared d3d524aac9 up at f668040ca8 Renault blankly. His dazed expression, 0753397679 as if he cf0cd3b227 had no idea 8fd5184c10 what had just fe14e144d1 happened, was almost 06d56ac4e2 comical.ccea700d5cbaa21f

“I told you not to touch me whenever you feel like it.”216cb403cd260fce

Renault’s cold remark was 56bff249ff met with sudden, loud a69b76579c laughter from Raven, still 9366ba19a9 sprawled out on the b226f53727 floor. He laughed 58d23517fc so hard 069a148c14 that tears 99ae61cc00 gathered in 73761342df the corners b7aeea3fdf of his 83894857fe eyes.e9ca3f7b7e1a9bb5

“You crazy bastard.”b4ff0f55ba381770

Judging by Raven’s awed cdf7e5d789 tone, he wasn’t lying. The front of his d55801e05f pants was pulled tight a56661233c as if it might 916157404d burst. Just looking at d7f92bca35 it made Renault’s 6704a260fd head spin. Fuck. He cursed internally, 4685681130 scowling. He had no ede4daf839 idea why this 239fcd7ce2 lunatic was always 86d74f00c1 in heat.f631242373775584

It was making 68fa5aeea6 him feel hot, 5352a9562a too. Tearing his d19f454688 gaze away 0ffc4f4933 from the ddda42e3ca obvious bulge 2625fd5ffe in Raven’s 6c4db9e237 crotch, Renault 332d548aa5 picked up 0888ab6d3e the file ce38f6f6a7 he had da762e949b dropped when 5cd28b77d4 he threw 34abfc43a3 the man 711c668796 and started 9f316ce643 walking down d96c2dac45 the corridor 4bb120b608 again.628de3c7750e1a3f

Rubbing his slightly 7b1511bc8e flushed cheeks, he 6e12b4f3c6 fled the scene. Raven, still grinning, cf44d6a35b quickly scrambled to 06a500b241 his feet and 5b14652af4 followed after him. How could someone laugh 38fe69c8cd after being thrown to 50efc8842f the floor like that? Surely, he wasn’t a d56702ea4e masochist who enjoyed getting 8856a1c10f hit… right?de98c625c9e1638f

Still flustered, Renault ed92b3c152 snapped again, then ad4b04a1bc immediately pressed a aea4a5b691 hand to his 41a756ee27 forehead. He needed 94951006eb to stay d67d332dca calm. He exhaled slowly, reminding 2b4aba0861 himself not to get e8f599ba9e swept up in Raven’s 9f0dd3d842 antics. Every time 3e3b02bf75 he dealt 11197efce0 with this e18f129e1e madman, he 5740bf514d felt like 729ffb5116 he was ce6d28025b losing his a26cdf70af mind, and 5476b53909 it pissed 83e24f8aef him off.e6d9b24431ceb26d

“Shut up.”beac8d21ad0a8ee0

Renault, his face twisting d4118e0bab in frustration, clamped a 6a78fd274f hand over Raven’s shameless acf9a43b0c mouth. If he let 01c2ddc54a him keep talking, d03d22f97b there really would 50fccd430b be trouble. Within an 5ed74f72dc hour, the abaadabff9 entire center dbc29dceca would be faef6f7835 flooded with efc535baef rumors about 788c6f6aba them rolling ba9395271c around in 14eb8bed5e bed together. f56446ec873d6d97

As Renault imagined the ac52a23be8 horrifying possibility, Raven, despite 97dad858d9 having his mouth and 8e23608f89 nose completely covered, smirked 461b9920cf mischievously. That ominous 63da533ca0 expression made 7eae3a99be Renault narrow cd0023f56b his eyes.c5a893c1f2371e5c

And sure enough, a dbde78c4e0 wet, sticky sensation spread 5ee98fa40b across his palm. Raven was licking 05d5371452 his hand. Renault was about to d727596d0a lose his goddamn mind. With a sharp afa06bc11f movement, he pulled 44d7284c51 his hand away c10499c85f and wiped the d5b88e0d91 saliva-covered palm roughly 1e70074223 on Raven’s shirt.93c3c02683dcee78

Raven tilted 5c9c6278a2 his head, 14ae2b504e hands in eb35802061 his pockets, 5bc16690ec clearly waiting ddc07850fe for a 5dbc51b316 reasonable explanation. Renault clenched his teeth 0fc31c695e and swallowed his irritation.9655fabe4447eec5

“They want my ability the most. Up until now, they left me alone because I didn’t have a dedicated guide, which made me difficult to use. But if they find out I have an S-class guide stabilizing me, they won’t just sit back and do nothing.”a4d334ecb6d27cb5

When Renault had 11de562e05 insisted on returning d2f8a85dbd to District 13, 2ddedf219d many had opposed c406fee8ca it. But Renault was an 1ceebc039e esper with a low 7edad92259 compatibility rate with guides.f8b203710eedbef6

Even with regular guiding 8b667abf2f sessions at the center, 30bd367ab1 his energy was always 9f6a886827 insufficient. The military 555518911a had high 1163be3d99 expectations for d3431be494 him, which 7206f87f67 made the 36d9c081ba lack even d1337d8986 worse.1bd8ef61470eb443

In the end, b02aad59fa Renault had to f472cc9379 leave the military 1ab32695d7 because he couldn’t dfc21f422e fully utilize his d85dd5100e abilities. Without a 1c85f62216 dedicated guide 442e856f9c to provide 5657dff717 constant guidance, e4be4ef2b9 the military 96f7a08969 concluded that de10236308 Renault’s power b518dde982 couldn’t be fda66c6351 used effectively.fcce261b2eb762e2

He had returned to c9ada9db13 District 13, far from 3013b0ee05 the Central District, but 90914d6606 he knew they were 87f6b7dad5 still keeping an eye dadf185e14 on him. The reason the 7cfaa990f4 center kept trying c84cd085cf to assign him df706d9d63 a dedicated guide f5f3c3e816 was also due 00adfa77cf to military pressure.62aa4e4053e03d37

He knew 5e18906c2d that the d454beb221 moment he f97f9d834a was paired c33c0197d4 with a 87b957b35f guide who e766a12e9b could stabilize 9ccb540c3b him, an 335ec1c759 immediate recall 779337b06e order would 0adf8d01c8 be issued. It wasn’t c0a0a7a001 that different, 05621b9a5a whether it 465b37bdcd was District c834945dc4 13, the 230d62100a Central District, 99638aca64 the center, 43a5bc9272 or the d0950f9e16 military. But one thing was dc6d1250dd certain—Renault had no desire 6fda10bf7b to return to the e743513fe8 military.e40b935460767950

Life there was ed9849d96e suffocating. Too many eyes 473b6beecd were constantly watching 9a7e27904c him. It felt 7b00f7370d like he 37972e39d5 couldn’t even e2b23639fb breathe freely. His dream was to cb4203bd66 live quietly in this 4a5bfa3a43 place—not standing out too d086fde615 much, but not being 25cc2404d4 seen as incompetent either.b722ef78a11a0311

At twenty-nine, he 6807d4f4bb often thought like f593b295f7 an old man 7f8c47521c who had already 7e3bec5e43 grown tired of 3551b9f7c1 life. Megan scolded him 490686729f for it every 7ae318f808 time, but it 061940a431 couldn’t be helped. Maybe it f07456b03e was because 6cec4b90a7 he had a81b202bee lived too 9210c94caa harshly from a5dce14254 a young cb080f695d age—perhaps he 6400b8b8dd had simply a36008184b lost any a03c377b73 desire to a7344e3fe0 strive for fa889601ee something more.7fd8069bc3aae38c

Raven asked, 424bb93e8a keeping a 54c0b9b3d6 step of 080c034adf distance between 912b305707 them. Renault didn’t bother answering. Even so, 9f2df38951 Raven hummed 871c599794 softly, as 7a76c6e069 if he 8125d165b2 understood.2f9748b5f1612d02

Five years 4c7e8e7c00 ago, after e4799aa40b that day, 2cd25e9dbe Raven had bc9b170299 disappeared into 17773fe73c the outskirts. The higher-ups c524f2e9bf had likely 5f98c736aa concluded that dd23425f74 he had 348a1f6ef1 been reduced 1b6c99fa06 to dust 898ea09c30 in the 3cb4e86b1f explosion. Because that’s what 4114e37961 Renault had reported 4cb2659c78 when he returned 66e8184058 to the military.32f1f43723cd47d5

With perfect c384ad4727 guiding and 55f2cf67d0 healing, Renault 42cb0aea6e had returned 4b7508d5ef without a 6559514f35 single scratch. He had acted d116b8edd5 like a man c4f7d7bf54 who had seen d0b1534236 nothing, heard nothing—just f6cd7434f0 someone who had 83d06e7601 simply completed his 041f3f830c mission and left.14400c8c97b88f25

Because he 896ce94b07 missed the 40499d067b portal, he 00dfcfbccb added an 0395d8b6cd excuse that 4c6d80f3c8 he had 0fda64775d wandered a 16879abee3 bit, then e2d5c8239d reported that 1512fcbe84 after staying 2f0e167f48 behind to 08b487dad2 check, he 51bb416d94 found the bf2bae61cb research facility 84ab183f53 had been d3cd9549c3 completely blown c240b8218e up, leaving 81c9e4f559 no trace 94bf20c299 behind.3c5f2e41ce8d3d08
