>At the Grayson Residence, Aiden finishes dusting off his clothes - making sure they're nearly presented. As he does so, he then looks at himself in the mirror. Seeing his wavy black hair intersect with portions of his face - he's barely able to see himself in the mirror as a result.

>As he moves to part his bangs out of his hair - he then feels a pair of hands slowly do that for him. Recognizing the person by their sensitivity of touch, he then says out loud:

"I'm hopeless, aren't I?"

>Scowling lightly, Stella then neatly parts Aiden's hair - adjusting it with a fine tooth comb. As she carefully moves over his hair with the comb, she speaks:

"If you were hopeless, I wouldn't be your fiancé."

"Mosaic? What's wrong? Why did you summon us?"

>Silent for a moment, Mosaic then says:

"To not let you off the hook so easily. My mistake."

"Idiots. The lot of them….."

>As the figure places their hands on their head in frustration and annoyance, they can then hear a voice speaking from right behind them.

"Failed again, Placebo?"

>Spinning around, Placebo looks at the figure standing before him. A man in his late 20s with blonde hair and sunglasses. As the man smiles at him, Placebo says, nervously:

"T-There were complications that came up."

>As Isaac finishes up a call with a client at the end of the work day, he looks around his desk - taking note of the different papers and financial reports outlined before him. Projections for growth among various subsidiaries, likely acquisition targets and litigation material are all laid out before him - as he finishes his call.

"…Thank you again Mr. Matthews. We'll consider your arrangement for a joint venture with that new start up company. Hopefully they'll be a good competitor to DataDrive. Yes, thank you again. I'll talk to you soon."

>Hanging up the phone, Isaac writes a final series of numbers and statements on the paper before him - as he then feels a presence appearing. Immediately recognizing the presence, he then thinks to himself:

{"Hmm. I wonder what he's here to ask me about?"}

>Focusing, Mosaic then makes another set of gestures with his left hand - generating a swarm of blue mana particles. The resulting spell cast then spontaneously manifests a flood of supernaturally glowing blue water. The water immediately begins flash freezing the remaining golems.

"So I'd say it's only fair that you learn how to advance your studies towards true mastery of the mystic arts - at least towards your level of casting prowess. Besides…."

>Muttering to herself, Phoebe slowly opens her eyes as she sits up in her bed. Rubbing her eyelids, she then checks the time from the periphery of her vision.

{"Eight o'clock. Ugh. Great."}

"………."

>Aiden blinks again, confused at Lisa.

"…..What? Sorry, I think I miscommunicated there, Lisa."

>Pointing his thumb in a sideways fashion towards Phoebe to his left, Aiden clarifies:

"Phoebe always finds a reason to take my car out for a drive, even when she's made it clear that she thinks my taste in cars is terrible."

>Looking at Phoebe, Aiden then says:

"If that's not spite, then I don't know what is. Then again, this is coming from the person who locked be inside of a broom closet when I was six as a prank."

>Phoebe shrugs as she replies:

"I'm not taking sides in your siblings' feud, Aiden."

>Shaking his head, Aiden says:

"If there's nothing left, then I've got a multi-trillion dollar corporation to run."

>Aiden turns around and moves to walk away, as Phoebe goes around to the car's left door. As she opens it, she then says to Aiden:

"Hey, if you get this done? I'm not gonna complain. Just make sure this is actually in the best interests of the company!"

>Jonah then looks at Lisa as Phoebe gets into the driver's seat of the car. Sighing, he then says to Lisa:

"I am sorry about the behavior of my brother and my sister. Phoebe is….very confrontational, but it stems from good intentions. She likes pressing people on their convictions - ensuring that they are genuine."

>Looking back at his brother as he enters the building again, Jonah then says:

"Jonah. . ."

>Lisa sighs and smiles.

"You're a good egg, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, ok?"

>Pulling on the door handle, Lisa opens it, heading into the car.

"I'll be in touch when I'm available."

>Sitting down in the car, Lisa closes the door and blows out some air, slumping down slightly.

"Your siblings can be exhausting to handle, even in small bursts."

>Phoebe scoffs as she then says:

"Yeah well, my brothers are tougher now because of my masterful teaching."

>Turning on the engine of the car, Phoebe waves to Jonah for a moment before turning to Lisa, stating:

"I don't have much else that I need to do. Well, besides deciding on the final designs for Eros's next fashion show. You interested in seeing the designs or…."

>Phoebe then blinks before saying:

"Oh right. Too feminine."

>As she begins backing the car up and away from the parking lot, Phoebe then asks Lisa:

>Flipping through the pages in his dossier file, Chase narrows his eyes behind his sunglasses. Adjusting the position of the papers in his hands, he then carefully examines the marked on map - guiding his eyes across the brush marks towards a large X symbol.

"…..Someone's been busy….."

>Looking through more papers, Chase then thinks to himself:

{Am I looking at the same thief here? Nobody's this good at breaking and entering into facilities. There must be some mistake."}

>Chase then picks up the phone on his desk and begins dialing a number. After doing so, he continues examining the papers and making markings with his pen as he carefully examines the diagram of the map before him.

>As the phone picks up the call, a voice can be heard on the other side.
