How had it come to this...? Well, for me this was simply another day, business as usual. Find work wherever, so I might have bacon on the table at the end of the day. It feels so lonely with Sera though, without any of my siblings. I still can't believe she's gone, and I'm sure she's alright. She has to be... I'd know it if something wasn't, she'd have told me, right? That loneliness... I hadn't felt as empty in a long time, if ever. No matter how bad things go, I always had them around. But then everything changed. Just yesterday, while I was out looking for Sera, i found somebody else instead. Another of my siblings, Diana:
"That's good... If it didn't, then it would be too good to be true, and that's never reassuring.", I answered, looking back at my sister, as if looking away from her for too long might make her disappear again, "At the end of the day, if you want bacon, we need to work for it."
I only look away from her to look at the map our client gave us. Simple enough job, but we still gotta be careful. So, no barging in through the front door without knowing how many of them are around. As we walk over to the dinner under the gentle shimmer of the morning rays, we know we can't do any of this in broad daylight... So we slip into an alley as I slow my pace, head turning left and right to look for enemies.
"Keep your eyes peeled, Dia... Or, well, nose.", I cock my head as I correct myself from that little miss, I guide her towards the back door...
