It was loud inside the main lounge center of the White Eye building. It was a huge lounge spanning 200 meters across with almost everything to do. From eating in a restaurant to sporting in the fitness room. It was like the main lobby of a shopping mall. Since Megami Duvet's death and the subsequent yet ironic “assassination” of the Ghost Assassin has put the White Eye in turmoil. Their fight against the Nextellar proves to be the most arduous task ever. But there is one person whose death of Megami Duvet has hit harder than everyone here. Zahra Duvet. Her only sister. She joined White Eye not too long ago to be able to support her sister as well as spend more time with her but even that came to an abrupt close. There is no way for her to spend any real quality with her because most of her activities are kept strictly confidential from Zahra since she isn't as experienced or trusted enough to take part in some missions and is often kept out of the loop for such reasons. But now that Megami is dead, what else does Zahra have left? The TV was on while Zahra was slouching back on her sofa. Her arms spread on the headrest with a grim face and dark tired eyes. She hasn't gotten any proper rest. She also noticed that people were fixated on the TV as it showed new information about Megami's death. Something that was not known at the time. This is likely new info. -- At 5:43PM MST, Envia Dome would record it's 2nd largescale attack after an unidentified Soul-Wielder of fundamental power activated their Soul-Spec with alleged attempt to harm. Civilians were evacuated and the EPD were quick to lockdown the surrounding streets until the battle was contained. Aerial drone footage would detail that an unidentified gunman would battle and defeat the attacker, leaving her for EPD Officers to collect her body for forensic and Soul-Residue examination. Information regarding the gunman is scarce - however they were connected with the 1st largescale attack, in which a man destroyed a Plaza Bar, injuring several civilians and causing collateral property damage on the surrounding slums and buildings. Information that has been recognized is that they are a Weapon-Type Soul-User with a strength-level of extreme power at the very least. Information regarding the instigator is almost none, being recognized as a Weapon-Type fundamental-grade female. Their injuries included cauterized bullet holes, severe bruising and the early stages of Cirumite poisoning - as seen by rashes around the neck. Information regarding their history has yet to be released by the EPD, however the few drones that managed to record audio picked up a hatred for Dark-Intrinium - suggesting she may have been of Soul-Core-sided allegiances. At the end of the battle, a piercing surge of Soul-Energy would be sensed by everyone capable of using their Soul. This strange anomaly would also corrupt footage and audio, leaving the people of Envia Dome largely in the dark. -- Zahra stared at the ceiling, the same depression you would feel as if your parent died from illness. She wanted to die herself. She hasn't got out of the lounge in days. Not even her squad could talk her out. They tried everything. Part of her life has seemingly vanished away at the hands of some unknown asshole, and she couldn't do a damn thing. In her mind, that unknown asshole was the only thing swimming about. Thoughts of torturing him or cutting him open. Zahra facepalmed, trying to conceal her face to let nobody know of her silent crying. It was genuinely gut-wrenching. Your sister was finally granted a semi-vacation for her performances in the Battle of Kobaji and how close she was to killing Evtoria Mugen and then, some rando mercenary kills your sister for money. He who kills for sport will surely die in the hands of a raging sister with nothing to lose but only thing to gain. Avenge Megami. Avenger. She wanted that title. The revenge for her sister will be the only thing that will ease her pain and find solac
