The arguing was a bit too loud and that pissed off Yume so she started to walk over. But just when she was about to talk to them, a not so happy noise was happening to one of the train doors. It was melting.

  "Oh fuckin' Lev." The train was already about to arrive at the next station, which gave a lot of questions of how he got on, but Yume grabbed the 'father' and pushed him to the guy that was chasing her. She then grabbed the girl with her and when the doors opened, ran out.

  "What th- OI, YOU COME BACK HERE! And you...why don't you just fuck off?"

  "Why don't you stop barking like a hound?"

  "Heh, seems like someone doesn't know his place...then I guess it's about time someone taug-" His face was grabbed by the entirety of that man's hand, giving a burning sensation as though his skin was being burned off. The man let go and said,

  "Told you. Stop barking." He then ran after Yume.

  "Alright, see? The man stopped so be quiet for a bit, okay?" Yume put down the girl near the stairs leading out of the station. The little girl was wearing a torn pastel pink dress. She had blonde hair, gold eyes and was pretty thin. After she nodded, Yume said, "Good. Wait here for your parents and I'll see you later!" Yume then continued to run.

  Hoping to not waste time, she just jumped off of the railing and ran straight ahead. The man however, was faster and saw where she was going. He decided that jumping off was stupid and decided to just run down the stairs. The little girl followed after.

  Yume after running for what felt like an hour but was actually just 10 minutes, rang the doorbell of an apartment a shit ton of times.

  "Ugh...whosit."

  "It's me, some creep in my closet's been chasing after me. Can I coop up here for a bit please?"

  "Haa...how many times I gotta say this, you're an adult now. Whatever things yo-"

  "I didn't do shit, he's after the Relic."

  "Really?"

  "He's been tryna force it out of me this entire time! Now please, let me in."

  "...It's unlocked."

  Yume opened the door and rushed in, locking several locks behind her. Once she got to the specific room, she opened the door and locked all those locks too. "Haa...thanks pa."

  "Only now you decide to call me your father?"

  "I've been doing it for the past year! You're the one always riding up my arse telling me to call you that."

  "Oh yeah, and when was the last time you saw me?" Yume thought about it for a bit. No matter how hard she thought, all she could say was,

  "When was the last time you weren't drunk?"

  "Oh shut." That made the two laugh a bit. "I didn't do anything so use your old room."

  "Got it. Do you have work by the way?"

  "Yeah, the usual. This time some worshippers though. There's some food in the fridge if you get hungry and once you think it's safe, just leave whenever you want." The man grabbed his keys and walked out the door. "Remember to stay safe though."

  "Same to you, love you."
