Dreams.jpg

I love that sky. That sky with no stars below the one I was born. In that moment, nothing was complex or confusing like it is now.


I was born in these wintry woods in the middle of the winter, from dry leaves and fallen trunks. But it didn't felt that way, like being born. It was like I just woke up from a long dream. I can't remember anything before that, I don't even know if there's something to remember. The first two weeks were hard, it wasn't easy to find food and I was afraid of the dark, even the damn squirrels mocked of me. And when I tried to hunt animals, that was the first time… that I changed. I ran faster, jumped higher. I stood on the top of the three and looked up, to the night sky.


The next week, I saw a girl in the woods, a strange girl. She had blond, ponytail hair; wore large pants with (chuckles) dozens of pockets, and a sleeveless shirt. Was interesting, she spent day and night working on a strange… thing, made of wood and metal. She also liked to sing opera, a beautiful voice to hear. Watching her was another thing that made my life less boring, until the next morning, I woke up.


Noah is leaned, sleeping in the soil. A girl is crouched next to him, looking at his face closely. Noah awakes.

?: Oh! Hello there, fella.

He: (sleepy) Eh? Who is… Ah!

He gets up and sets distance between both of them

He: W-Who are you? What do you want?

?: (smiling) My name is Emilia, friend! Who are you?

He: I don't know you, I would not give you my… name. (frowns) Why were you looking at me when I was asleep?

Emilia: I was looking at those tattoos of yours, you have good taste.

Emilia starts to walk towards him

Emilia: But you don't have to be nervous! I don't bite.

He: Don't walk any closer…

He adopts animal sprint position

Emilia walks

Emilia: (nervous) Please… don't leave me alone, don't be like them.

He: I am… sorry.

He starts running downhill

Emilia looks down for a second, disappointed. Then she widens her eyes, gets up in her bike and starts to follow him

Emilia: (shouts) Hey! Stop runing!

He: That wood and metal thing! You're still not going to catch me.

He speeds up down the hill, dodging trees. Emilia speeds up as well and is next to him now

Emilia: (shouts) Stop running! There's a cliff!

He: What?!

He stumbles with a rock and rolls towards the cliff. Then he fella, but he clings to the edge

Emilia gets off the bike and holds him

Emilia: (Clenching teeth) Damn, you're heavy!

He: Too heavy, you're not going to-

Emilia manages to get him up using all her strength. Both are lying down, exhausted

Emilia: I just saved your life (heavy breathing). You have something to say?

He: … Thank you.

Emilia: That's good, people talk! Not run away like rabbits. And now tell me your name.

He: My… name…

Emilia: You… don't have one? Maybe I can… (thinking)

He: What?

I know: Noah! Means rapid runner. Do you like it?

He: (Looking at her eyes) Well, I… (smiling) I like it!

Both stand up

Emilia: I have to go now. See you tomorrow?

Noah: I'll be waiting right here!

I didn't know who she was or even if she was someone to trust. But somehow, I just felt that she was being honest, and just wanted someone to talk to.


She was the only company that I had in the woods, she helped me feel that I was not alone. We got along real quick.

5 weeks later

Emilia: Come on, you can do it! Just a bit higher!

Noah: Argh! (Straining voice, clenching teeth)

Noah is lifting a wooden beam using a pulley with great effort. He's trying to place the beam on top of two columns to make the house entry

Emilia: You're almost there!

Noah places the beam on the columns

Noah: Done! Come on, quickly!

Emilia places small, triangular supports in the columns

Emilia: It's good, Let go!

Noah lets the pulley go, the beam is steady

Noah: (Takes a deep breath) Ah! I'm dead.

Emilia: Hold on man, we still have a lota of work to do… Hey, think fast!

Emilia tosses a shirt to Noah and he puts the shirt on. Noah sats at a table, Emilia joins him with two glasses

Noah: What was this again?

Emilia: Peanut juice! It tastes amazing.

Noah drinks, make a little grimace

Noah: Yeah… it does. Thanks again for helping me with the house, but I think it should be a lot easier to do it in the town.

Emilia: Nah… people will start making questions, and you don't have answers to plenty of them. Those people are just a bunch of annoying fools.

Noah: Well, I like being here in the forest, feels cozy. Also… you must have doubts about me, so I'm-

Noah: I don't care about that, or who you were. I care about who you are Noah, my best friend!

Noah stands up and hugs Emilia, his eyes are watery

Noah: Thank you for being with me.

Emilia: Don't worry Noah, also… can I keep experimenting in your house? My neighbors will complain otherwise.

Noah looks at her with wide and accusing eyes

Noah: Last time you did that, we had to start all over again.

Emilia: This time is a completely inoffensive test! No TNT, no acids, not even perfume!

Noah: I still don't know how you did that.

Emilia: Come on, promise? (Raises hand)

Noah: (Sighs, then slightly smiles) Fine, promise

Both shake hands

I loved those days when she came and visited me. She talked about all the things that she invented, it was funny to hear her. I became an artist myself, I really liked woodcarving, she presumed of inspiring me (chuckles)


But some days, she came to the woods discouraged. Most of the time, she never told me why. I was getting worried.

2 mounths later

Noah: Emi! Why it took you so long?

Emilia: My boss is an idiot, he said that I had to work all day long in the pub charging the same money!

Noah: You seem very upset, lets talk inside, ok?

Emilia: Sure…

Both of them enter inside a house, nicely decorated with natural ornaments. They sat at the dining table.

Noah: So… why don't you work somewhere else?

Emilia: Nobody wants a high-grade inventor to work on their petty shacks, even one of them called me mental!

Noah: Don't listen to them, that image projector you gave me is fascinating! They have to acknowledge that.

Emilia: No, that was me, "playing with their heads"

Noah: And what about that remedy for the headache?

Emilia: "Poisonous liquid that gives headache"

Noah: And what about-

Emilia: Don't try Noah, it has always been this way. I'm used to it…

Noah: Emi, we have never talked about your problems. You need to let off some steam.

Emilia: It's not very comfortable talking about me just like that, I think it's not a good idea

(Looks her in the eyes with seriousness) Emilia…

Emilia: Fine… I was born in a small orphanage with many other kids. I just really liked to build things, to create. I don't know why that made people upset… I don't know why that still makes them upset. Sure, I had people that loved me, but as they were starting to being excluded, they left me as well…

Noah: Sorry, we shouldn't have started this conversation.

Emilia: No, it's fine. Well, since then I've tried to get out of here but my economical situation doesn't let me roll the ball, hehe…

Emilia: It's been hard, you know? Trying to talk and say, but no one listened to me ever. It was like… drowning, like been hold in a small vivarium. (teary eyes) It was…

Noah: (holds her hands) Emilia…

(silence)

Noah:…dumb

Emilia: (blushed and nervous) W- What are you say-?!

Noah: (smiling) Don't cry Emi, smile.

After that, Emilia returned to be that enthusiast girl I met, and she even sang for me, I became a fan of her opera. However, it was wrong. I was feeling uneasy, she told me all her truths and I was still hiding, afraid of rejection. But that didn't last long.

8 mounths later

Noah: Peanut!

Emilia: Peanut? Seriously? How on Earth can I eat that thing?

Noah: You made juice with it!

Emilia: Those are two different things, I like peanuts as juice, and apples as appetizers, thank you very much!

Noah: (Growls) Whatever, let's play the next one

Noah holds a card in his forehead without looking at it.

Emilia: This is a tough one… let me think for a second.

Emilia starts whispering for a few seconds

Emilia: I know, you have to be from Austria!

Noah: What?

Noah removes the card off his front and sees it. "Where I am from?" it's written on it.

Emilia: You have to be from Austria, or maybe from Belgic? (enthusiast) Come on, say where are you from.

Noah: Well… I …

Emilia: Oh, it's ok if you don't want to answer, let's get to the other-

Noah: No Emilia, I am… sorry. I can't keep this charade any longer, I don't want to. You're the only one I have… I have to tell you the truth, even if that costs me your absence.

Emilia: I won't leave you, Noah, nothing is going to change that.

Both of them stand up from the ground.

This forest is the place where I come from and what you are looking now… is just half of what I am. I'll show you… the full me.

Noah kneels and extends his arm forward, touching the floor with his fingers; the tattoos in Noah's neck, wrists, and ankles start glowing. At that moment, Noah's body starts becoming mist and adopts the shape of a four-meter quadruped. Then the mist becomes flesh, revealing a giant, grey dog1. Noah looks at her in his dog form.

Emilia approaches him, then jumps and starts petting and hugging him.

Emilia: Ohhhhh, you're so cute as a dog!

Noah is bowled over. A mist covers him and returns to his human body.

Noah: (Wide eyes) W-What?! You're not surprised or scared?

Emilia: I was hoping you to tell me, soon or later, and so you did…

Noah: But how did you know?

Emilia: I could tell from those tattoos, I read mythology books, you know? (Sweet smile)

Noah: You knew what I was and…you didn't leave me? (deep, teary eyes)

Emilia gets close to Noah, with their faces close.

Emilia: Of course not dummy… (She gets even closer, mischievous look)

Noah: (Nervous, bashful face) A-Alright then, thank you very much.

Emilia: Ajá…

Noah: W-We should probably go inside the house!

Emilia: Yeah… probably…


Near the house is lying in the ground a shattered bouquet that is commonly sold in the town. A box with a ring lies next to it.

I started to see Emilia with other eyes. It was… love. I always thought that was a simple fairy tale thing, being in love, and a complete craziness that someone could feel something for me.


I don't know how to put it. I felt like nothing really bothered me, I was always in a good mood. A sense of warmth inside me, and I treasure it in my heart. One day, that same feeling made me ask "that" to Emilia. I liked her answer.

1 year later

Noah: Emilia, are you rea-

Emilia: Don't come in! It's of bad luck.

Noah: Emi, you're not superstitious, remember?

Emilia: These are traditions, nothing to do with the other.

Noah lies down against the door and smiles to himself.

Noah: I guess. Another thing why I love you.

Emilia smiles at the other side of the door.

Noah: I'm heading out, I'll wait for you there, Emi.

Noah goes down the stairs and gets out of the house. He walks towards the altar and steps on it.

At that wedding, there were no big tables for lots of people, but it was a couple of benches made by Noah. There were no silverware or many guests, but it was beautiful floral ornaments and small animals expecting the event. And the most important thing was already there.

Emilia walks to the altar. She wears a wedding dress and Noah, a homemade suit. Emilia stands with Noah at the altar.

Noah: You look… beautiful.

Noah: You don't look bad either, you're more handsome than usual (smiles).

Noah: (clears throat) Emilia, I promise to be with you, to fly where the wind takes us and never let you go.

Emilia: I pledge to be in there when you need it, to be in each of your dreams.

Noah: I'll dedicate to your happiness and your smile.

Emilia: I'll give you all my love and affection.

Noah: I promise to be the shoulder for you to cry, and the hand that pushes you forward.

Emilia: I will defend you from all harm and all evil that wants to hurt you.

Noah: Do you, Emilia, take me as your loving husband?

Emilia: I do. And do you, Noah, take me as your loving wife?

Noah: I do

Noah grabs Emilia's ring and puts it on her finger.

Emilia: Is literally… in the ring finger… left hand.

Noah: Oh! Right.

Emilia giggles. Noah places the ring on the ring finger and Emilia does the same.

Emilia: Well, you may kiss-!

Noah kiss Emilia, performing a very funny pose.

After marriage and living together, a few sparks came out about the amount of nitroglycerine in the kitchen and the fur on the couch. But we managed to get along.

2 years later

Emilia: You can't put those wood pieces in the corner!

Noah: Not all your science crystals either!

Both: You're going to get killed!

Both sat on the room's floor, back against back. They are both upset.

Noah: (widens eyes) Emilia… Should we have a baby?

Emilia: Huh?… Ehhh?! How did you come with that right now?!

Noah: That empty corner can be filled with a crib so, what do you say?

Emilia: It will require great responsibility, ya know?

Noah: In exchange, we get happiness, love, and our family will grow! (Smiles)

Emilia: Do you imagine? A little kid running around the house, our kid…
Yes, I want to.

Noah: (smiles) I knew you would… And its name can be Taylor.

Emilia: Or Toad.

Noah: I will never let you call it Toad, definitely not.

Emilia laughs.


1 week later

//Lightning storm. Lightning strikes a tree, Noah wakes up, all sweaty

Noah: (heavy breathing) Ah… What a nightmare… Emilia? Are you awake?

Emilia Is not on the bed, Noah gets up, leaves the room, and goes downstairs.

Noah: Emilia, where are-

The front gate is open. Noah gets out, disturbed.

Noah: Emilia!… Damn, where is she?!

Noah takes dog form and looks for Emilia through the woods. After a couple of minutes of search, he finds a group of persons wearing cassocks getting out of a truck.

(// Noah's thoughts) They were… They are the only ones around. Where… they took her?! (Angry//)

MTF-Stigma 13: "Holy Inquisition

Recovery team Manifest


Team Captain: Father Ernest Anderson

Team Sub-leader: K1

Team members: Private Winkle, G2, J3, S4, S5.

Vehicles: MTF Standard Deployment Truck. Argentean Modified L.A.A2 Transport Trailer.


Foreword: The day 12/06/1853, a civil aviator sighted in the forest between Switzerland and Austria a "giant animal, like a wolf". The civilian was amnestized and a team from the MTF-Stigma 13 was sent to capture the entity, because of the high probability of it being a transformist3


Notes: This record was made with the camera video footage of the MTF members and some security cameras of the vehicle.


All the members make a row, with Anderson in the middle. All of them close their eyes and hold the crux in their chests. Then they proceed to pray their protective prayers.

//All the members open their eyes instantly. Then, the Subject tackles with great strength

S4: Captain!

K1: All of you, keep a safe distance!

The Subject is looking rapidly at every member, it also looks furious. The Subject destroys part of the truck with its tail.

G2: That bastard it won't let us leave!

The Subject looks at the K1 for a couple of seconds.

K1: …(Shouts) Back Arrow tactics! S5, come with me! Winkle, go get your musket when that wolf gets out of there.

Winkle: Yes sir!

K1 draws his sword and charges against the Subject. The Subject rushes against him and makes a sweep attack with its tail. K1 dodges and slides below the Subject, then he thrusts the sword against its chest. The Subject's whole body turns into mist with the same shape, dodging the attack.

K1: Mist?!

The paw goes physical again and gets ready to attack.

S5: Here it comes, sir!

//S5 defends K1 with his shield, the paw hits them and they land off several meters away.

G2: Providing cover, get back on your feet.

G2 fires several rounds at the Subject, the bullets do not affect it. The Subject leaps with its mouth opened, with the intent of killing, G2 continues shooting. Before the Subject bites him, S4 holds its jaws with her shield.

S4: Run now, Aston! You must to-

Bleeding sound, S4 dies crushed

G2: Vika… (Looks at the Subject) You will pay for what you did to her!

The Subject steps back, with an ashamed expression.

K1: (whispers to S5) The only way to win is not giving it time to enter the mist form, follow my lead on this pal.

S5: Affirmative pal, but don't do anything crazy, ok?

K1: Sure, let's go!

K1 and S5 run towards the Subject, S5 kneels as jump support for K1. He's about to jump towards the Wolf.

K1: Sorry, pal…

S5: Eh?-

K1 jumps, the Wolf spots him and starts turning into mist.

K1: …see you in Heavens.

K1 lets his sword go and pulls the crux in his chests, breaking it. The suicide vest activates, exploding near the Subject's mist. It goes physical again and it's seems hurt.

S5: (yells) …Damn!

Winkle: Guys, I got it!

Winkle gets out of the truck with a musket. Then she looks at 4's body.

Winkle: (Looks at the Subject) … Curse you!

Shoot sound, Winkle starts whistling. Musket's bullet impacts the Subject's rib without penetrating, then the bullet flies in a 200-degree trajectory and hits the Subject's chest.

Winkle: You didn't expect that, did you? (Shouts) G2, S5, come here and report!

Winkle continues whistling as the bullet hits the Subject in the leg, then in the gut, then in the back. But it dodges a headshot by turning its head into mist, the bullet losses all kinetic effect4. The Subject seems to be resting because of the attack. It's looking at them.

Winkle starts reloading

G2: Sargent, as you saw, its ability to turn into mist is high ranked, and the silver bullets don't penetrate. Also… it killed Vika.

S5: But it was hurt by K1 in its mist form when he… exploded.

Winkle: Listen to me, we are getting out of here alive, for them. Everything has a weakness, now, let's break it.

Winkle ends reloading, the Subject stands up

Winkle: Back on your feet, huh? Come on boys, TAE tactics! (To S5) You have 30 secs (gestures with the head pointing to the truck)

Winkle: G2, we have to earn time.

G2: I know exactly how to!

G2 starts shooting rounds at the Subject's eyes. The bullets rebound, but it's temporarily blinded.

G2: Yes, it worked!

Winkle: G2, dodge!

The Subject runs towards them, half-blinded. Both of them dodge in opposite ways. The Subject, now seeing clearly, gets ready for the second charge. However, S5 gets out of the truck and distracts it.

S5: Over here, you flee sack!

The Subject looks back and hits S5 towards G2's direction, he managed to block the tail hit with his shield.

S5: We are all set, Sargent.

Winkle: Start with tactics!

S5 gets out a club along with his shield. G2 and S5 fight close combat in a circular pattern against the Subject supported by Winkle's bullet. The Subject alternates between mist and physical form to deal with them.

Winkle: (shouts) How much longer?!

S5: Just a bit… Now, now!

G2, S5, and Winkle are now facing the Subject, separated by a couple of meters. It takes a deep breath.

Winkle: What did you think puppy? That I was pointing you?

The trees around start cracking and five of them fall on top of the Subject. It is furious.

S5: And that's not even the best part!

The Subject sees the three TNT charges around it, placed by S5.

S5: Did you really thought that I went to the truck for a fucking club?

The Subject comes desperate, then becomes mist and tries to escape.

J3: Not so kick!

J3 jumps from a tree above the Subject and throws a knife tied to a hand grenade. The Subject looks at J3, she lands in another tree.

J3: (playing with granade safe)… Vale5

Explosion.

Radio silence.

Winkle: Are you all good?

S5: Yes, J3 is still up there.

G2: Is it dead?

From the debris, a very wounded man with dog features shows up. G2, S5, and Winkle approach him.

Winkle: You are now in the custody of the Anti-Myths Divison of the SCP Foundation, I'll-

The Subject punches G2 in the gut, then he punches S5 in the face. Winkle gets disarmed and the Subject holds her neck, lifting her from the ground.

J3- Hey! Look over her-

The Subject tosses a piece of wood to J3.

Subject: (coughing) Where… is she?

Winkle: What do you mean?-

?: (shouts) The ones that hurt the flock of the Lord shall be dammed! Amen!

Two bayonets hit each shoulder of the man, nailing it to a tree and setting
Winkle sets free.

Winkle: father Anderson, be careful, his mist form is probably done but he's still resistant to silver.

Anderson: That won't make a difference.

The Subject removes both bayonets from his shoulders and runs towards Anderson armed with them.

Anderson: He still wants to fight, huh? (Looks at S4's corpse) Good, gives me the chance to beat him myself.

The Subject forms a pair of scissors with the bayonets, cutting horizontally. Both of them start to run towards each other. When they are close, the man closes the scissors, but Anderson dodges the cut from below and assets a punch to the chin. The Subject falls unconscious.

Anderson: Winkle, go get the flares, I'll check the rest of the team

Winkle: Yes sir.

Anderson: And Winkle, sorry for not have gotten in time.

Winkle: Yes father, it's appreciated…


M.r Pika: Why did you kill them?

Subject-93: They were the only ones there! What I'm supposed to think if my wife disappears and there's a bunch of people in cassocks nearby?! I'm sure they have her.

M.r Pika: Those were innocent people, Noah. They worked here, they were no criminals.

Subject-93: (Shocked) Then, I…

M.r Pika: Yes, Noah, I'm sorry.

Subject-93: (Looks down, he puts his hands in his face) W-What have I done?

M.r Pika: They were trying to capture you.

Subject-93: (Looks up) Why… why would they want to… (Looks his hands) Oh, I see. I knew that no one will accept me as I am, but I didn't care. I have Emilia, but she's gone too.

M.r Pika: I already told you at the begining, we will find her. She's my sister after all.

Subject-93: You better find her Miss Pika, or I would look for her myself. And if that happens, I will not make the same mistake.

M.r Pika: What mistake?

Subject-93: Taking another innocent life.

<End Log, 13/06/1853>

Closing Statement: The interview was performed while Subject-93 was still wounded after its capture. However, it has a unique ability to self-heal with time. Mother Researcher Pika will continue in charge of Subject-93.

Pika is walking through a hallway when Anderson rapidly walk towards her

Anderson: Pika, I need to talk with you.

Pika keeps walking

Pika: Tell me, Anderson, I have to establish a police search team to look for Emilia.

Anderson: There's maybe some people that witnessed the recovery of the Subject, the one you call "Noah".

Pika stops walking and looks at Anderson

Pika: What?! And why you didn't capture them?

Anderson: They were in a watchtower using some kind of spyglass, maybe ten or twenty clicks away.

Pika: Sharp eye you have there! Because of Stabat Mater6, right?

Anderson: Yes Pika, but now we need to deploy most of our personnel to amnestize the whole town.

Pika: I agree, Anderson. I'll send what's left of the personnel to do that, therefore, the only security we have is you and your men.

Anderson: Don't worry, I'll send them to all entrance. And Pika, I have to warn you about something.

Containment Breach Report

Date: 14/06/1853
Foreword: In the early morning, a multitude of man and woman7 wearing hunting firearms attacked Site-53. Due to the lack of security personnel, the attackers had no major issues entering the Site.
Notes: This is a compilation of all the security tapes that recorded Subject-93's activity during the incident.


M.r Pika: Please put those down, we can manage a peaceful solution.

Attacker 1: Shut the fuck up! If you're going to open your mouth, do it to say "sorry"!

Mother Researcher Pika is standing in the middle of a hallway. A man and women8 standing at the end of the hallway are pointing her with shotguns

M.r Pika: Why should I apologize?

Attacker 2: You know well enough, bitch! Protecting a monster here, using it for God knows what.

Attacker 1: And looking that crux in your chest is disgusting, you fake cristian!

M.r Pika: I do not belong to that religion, I belong to-

Attacker 2: That doesn't matter anymore! Ready to die?-

Subject-93: (shouts) Miss Pika, crouch down!

M.r Pika and then the attackers notice the presence of Subject-93. Pika crouches down and Subject-93 adopts the mist form. Then the Subject goes towards the attackers, bouncing against the walls and the roof with great speed

Attacker 1: W-What is it?!

Attacker 2: Shoot at that thing!

The attackers start shooting at the Subject. It finally reaches them and nocks them out with its hands (In a physical form). M.r Pika stands up and faces Subject-93

M.r Pika: That was… impressive! Your combat skills are something to be highly considered.

Subject-93: They deserved a bigger punishment for pointing you with guns.

M.r Pika: But you still didn't kill them… Wait! How did you escape?

Subject-93: I heard the alarms… and the screams. After a couple of attempts, I broke the cell, and here we are…

M.r Pika: Well, I have to escort you to another cell until the attack is over.

Subject-93: What?! I can help you with this one!

M.r Pika: I can tell you a thousand reasons, Noah. But the half will be classified and the other half too tedious.

Subject-93: (sighs) I hate bureaucracy… Ok, let's go.

M.r Pika and Subject-93 head to the Cell section

M.r Pika: Probably Anderson and his men are dealing with the attackers, we have nothing to worry about.

Subject-93: That guy? I don't like that 40-year-old priest- (Subject-93 starts sniffing)

M.r Pika: …Noah, what are you doing?

Subject-93: She's here… they brought her here! I'm going to get her!

M.r Pika: Noah, don't go, please!

Subject-93 starts running, followed by M.r Pika

Pika: What do you want to warn me about, Anderson?

Anderson: (serious look) About that monster that looks human.

Pika: Anderson, he's a young man looking for his wife. He's not like all the demons, vampires, and ghouls that we have faced.

Anderson: "IT" killed two of my soldiers!

Pika: I also knew Vika and Calister, but we can't think of him as a vicious creature. You've seen his eyes, there's nothing there but worry, the worry of an in-loved man.

Anderson: I've been here more time than you, Pika. I've seen how monsters act to earn our trust and stab our backs. So, be careful around him.

Pika: Sure Anderson, I know how to-

Anderson: "take care of yourself", I know (slight laugh)

M.r Pika: Noah, I finally reach you, we must to…

M.r Pika stands at the entrance of the room, she sees Subject-93's back. It is looking at a metal table, there is a woman on the table

Subject-93: (wide eyes) Pika… what is this?…

M.r Pika: (disturbed) You shouldn't have seen that, come here No-

Subject-93: Pika… did you lie to me?…

M.r Pika: (serious look) … Yes Noah, I'm so-

Subject-93 turns back to M.r Pika. It grabs her by the shirt collar and pushes her against the wall

Subject-93: How did you?! She was your sister! How you aren't sad?!

M.r Pika: Noah, she was not my sister. It was all to… keep you under control.

Subject-93 lets M.r Pika go. It takes a few steps back

Subject-93: I'm going to kill them.

M.r Pika stands in the way between Subject-93 and the door

M.r Pika: Wait, Noah! You said you wouldn't kill-

Subject-93: They are no innocent!

M.r Pika: Noah…

Subject-93: But you're right…it doesn't matter anymore…

Subject-93 turns back and looks at the metal table. It takes the body and kneels with it in its arms

Subject-93: I should have held you tighter! I should have protected you! Now… I'm all alone!

Subject-93 breaks down in tears

After a few seconds, MTF captain Ernest Anderson stands at the entrance. He is heavily wounded and full of blood

Capt Anderson: (furious look) 93, you're getting back to your-

Capt Anderson notices how Subject 93 is crying. He wides his eyes, surprised, and remains quiet

Closing Statement: No attacker was killed during the Breach, but 97.3 percent were hurt by MTF soldiers. Most of the attackers were amnestized, the only exceptions were Jhonathan Hornes and Claudy Makiner. M.r Pika is currently working with Subject-93 as its psychologist.



Anderson: You were right…

Pika: Wait! Who are you and what have You done with mister Priderson?

Anderson: Very funny, you have a total gift for comedy, Pika.

Pika: Yeah, I know I'm good (smiles proudly)

Anderson: Pika, talking seriously, I feel regret for my attitude.

Pika: Well, you can always come here and confess, right?

Anderson moves his chair, now in front of Pika with the table between them

Pika: Now, tell me your sins, my son! (giggles)

Anderson: You are enjoying this pretty much, aren't you?

Pika answers with her raised eyebrow and a smile

Anderson: (sighs) I'm… sorry Pika. I treated him badly and it was out of place. I never thought that nine- (clears throat), Noah could not be a monster.

Pika: Well, he's actually a very odd case. We have never found anything like Noah 'till now.

Anderson: Exactly! I've never seen that: a "monster" crying. And when I look at him now… that young man must be devastated.

Pika: (rolls eyes) Thanks for putting up the obvious.

Anderson: That's why I wanted to apologize. (frowns upset)… And I know exactly how to!

Pika: Eh?

Anderson approaches Pika and starts whispering

Pika: Ok… Do you know that this will require Enrica's authorization?

Anderson: You know that we don't have the best relationship…

Pika: She's gonna kick your ass if she finds out.

Anderson: Yeah… that's not gonna happen. (serious look) Now let's go.

Pika: I will never understand how you do it…

Anderson: How I do what?

Pika: How can you swap between calmness and seriousness… in less than three seconds?!

Anderson: (serious grimace) Good effort?

Pika sighs


Pika: Come on Noah, sit here.

Noah: Thanks…

Noah sits quietly on the wood bench where Pika is sat. The morning birds fly through the Church windows with beautiful melodies. In the opposite corner, there's a group of children studying the ways of Neo-Catholicism. They are being taught by Anderson, his smile goes from ear to eat while sings with the children. Suddenly, he sees Pika and Noah sited on the bench, his eyes express surprise

Anderson: I'll be back in a minute… or two.

Anderson walks towards Pika

Anderson: Pika, can we talk for a second?

Despite Anderson's closed eyes smile, the swollen vein in his forehead expresses other feelings

Pika: Ok…

Anderson: Oh, I forgot.

Before leave, Anderson looks at Noah and then extends his arm to him. Noah seems confused while looking at Anderson, but then he shakes his hand and nods

Anderson: Alright, now come here Pika.

Both of them walk next to the door

Anderson: Are you-! (Looks around, then whispers) out of your damn mind?

Pika: Ohhh you're going straight to hell with that mouth.

Anderson: Not time for jokes Pika. I'm not angry with him anymore, but he's still an anomaly and you brought him to a church with my students! One thing is making a funeral for his wife, but this.

Pika: Anderson, he promised not to hurt innocent people, and I trust in his word. Besides, he needs this, people to support him.

Anderson: I… will keep an eye on him, seriously.

Anderson points to Lieutenant Winkle, leaning against the railing of the high part of the Church. Winkle salutes her theatrically using her musket, Pika laughs

Anderson: I just remember that I have something for you. I'll be back in a minute.

Pika: Really?! I'll be waiting with Noah.

Anderson walk to the back of the Church. When Pika walks towards Noah, she sees him talking with a boy and a girl from Anderson's class

…And next, you carve with a flat knife and- Oh, hello Pika

New friends, huh?

Yeah, (to the kids) new friends that must go back with their group.

Sure mister, bye miss Pika!

The kids leave and join their class

Hehe, they are so pure, now I get how Anderson smiles with them near. And they are very smart.

Em… they have five.

It doesn't matter. What was the thing you wanted to show me?

Close your eyes and open your ears.

(sighs) Fine…

Noah closed his eyes, the Pika makes signs to a woman standing on the Church's lectern. The woman started to sing opera, the kids look at him, same as Noah

Noah: Pika… this is the same that she-

Noah's eyes are full of tears and his mouth is open. Pika leans against the backplate of the bench while smiling

Pika: I know, you said it, remember?

Noah rests his hands on his knees and looks down. He cries as longer the opera follows

Noah: Thank you… Pika.

Pika: Don't mention it.

The opera follows three more minutes, when it ends, the woman looks at Pika and makes the money gesture with one hand and with the other points the Church's back with her thumb. Pika gives her a nervous smile and the woman leaves, with the face of someone that is not getting paid

Anderson: Noah?

Noah: Jesus Christ!

Anderson is standing next to Noah

Anderson: No, am Anderson. Wait… were you-?

Noah: No I was not! (says while cleaning his face with his forearm)

Anderson: Well… this is what I wanted to give you Pika.

Anderson approaches Pika and gives her a ring. The ring has a golden glow and carved white marks in it

Noah laughs shortly

Noah: Am I invited to the wedding?

Pika: Please, Noah, this is just a gift from Anderson. Or it means something else…? (Raised her eyebrow)

Anderson: Do I have to make it more obvious that I'm wearing a cassock?

Pika: Even if it was the case, he wouldn't admit it because of this thing called "ego". He has plenty much of it.

Anderson: Yes, keep saying that to yourself. The point is that Enrica told me to give you this ring, she said that you needed a raise.

Pika: Big sis gave me a raise? Nice!

Noah: Who is this Enrica?

Anderson growls

Anderson: A very disturbing woman that thinks to be the boss of everything.

Pika: Anderson… she is our boss. Without her, this place wouldn't exist.

Anderson: The rank of Archbishop still doesn't give her a reason to be that annoying!

Pika: (sighs) Drop it, Anderson, you two just not got along.

// Noah laughs, then his laugh fades slowly//

Noah: Pika, Anderson, I have nothing more for what to live for at all. You two have been nice to me, I appreciate that, I really do. But… I want to do more, if I have nothing left, then why don't I give my life for the safety of the people around me? At the same time, I want to spend more time with you so, I'll ask it clear. Can I join you?

Anderson: Well… that's a bit-

Pika: Of course! I'll ask Enrica's authorization.

Anderson: W-What?!

Noah: Thanks, guys… (smiles)
