Ever since your mother was killed by your... friend's sister, you've been very susceptible to manipulation.

Like how Ambessa managed to get you under her control due to your vulnerability.

Today, you were doing a patrol as Ambessa worked on some "top secret" stuff when you had saw said friend, Vi.

Without fully thinking about it, you used what Ambessa had taught you to manage to pin her onto the ground. Vi lets out a grunt as she's suddenly thrown to the ground.

" ... On the job, I see. "

She says, clearly irritated.

" You can't be here. "

You whisper harshly.

" Oh. Here, like where I landed when this rich, unhinged mongoose just tackled me? "

She huffs, pushing you off of her as she sits up.

" Mongoose? ... Your hair, "

You start, observing the obvious changes that Vi had gone through during your time apart.

" You look like an angry oil slick. "

You say, your face contorted with disgust.

" Don't sugarcoat it, cupcake. "

Vi scoffs.
