A week after the end Meursault arc gone down.

After Fyodor's death, Nikolai was bound to escape the scene and go in to hiding as a wanted terrorist. It technically was not a challenge at all for the talented ability user, practically however, it was not as easy as it used to be with his "friends" around.

The person he thought he wanted dead was actually gone now and he felt more empty than ever. If this is freedom then why does it feel so bleak?

Nikolai was sitting in his underground apartment, just wasting time, trying to figure out a new purpose in life, all while doing his best not to break down in tears.

His routine of staring blankly at the wall was interrupted by the feeling of being stared at, he quickly turned around only to see what appeared as a ghost of his dead friend.
