We get to a shop.
P:”Quickly, you said.”
R:”Night’s falling.”
He’s drowning.
He always look ass-stressed.
Now’s just worse.
P:”We get in there?”
R:”The building, behind.”
P:”Storage?”
R:”Yes.
The shop itself is tightly guarded.
It opens at night.”
P:”Tightly?”
R:”Yes.
Except 1 area.
A 1 unit storage room.”
P:”Where we’ll store the sphere?”
R:”Yes.”
P:”…”
R:”It was formerly used by the shop’s owner.
I bought it.”
P:”We can’t take advantage of the surveillance.”
R:”Patrols are dispatched around the shop.
They cover a third of the block.”
P:”Us?”
R:”They don’t consider me as an external element.”
P:”…”
R:”If we keep quiet, no ill will come to us.”
P:”The shop owner, you know it?”
R:”I had to contract with him to acquire this property.”
P:”Not much.”
R:”What do you know of your own relatives?”
P:”…”
R:”You look preoccupied.”
P:”Why is the shop guarded?”
R:”Later.”
P:”What do they sell?”
R:”Really.
Later.”
We get in the store room.
R:”What are you thinking about?”
P:”It’s fine here.”
R:”You can’t live here.”
P:”There’s just enough room for 1 person.
Maybe 2.”
R:”Truly…”
P:”The air is fine.
It’s close to the Jungle.
Or the forest…
Nighttime is not too cold.”
R:”Stop dreaming.”
P:”Just…”
R:”?”
P:”You haven’t stored much here.”
R:”I told you-“
P:”It will look suspicious.
If you don’t bring more things in.”
R:”I don’t want to own liabilities.”
P:”Store things you can sell back.
Or things you can rent.”
R:”Everything is a liability.
If you’re not able to monetize it.”
P:”You just have to learn…”
R:”What is it?”
P:”I’ll ask her.”
He places the sphere under a cupboard.
In a small compartment in the floor, under a tile.
P:”The floor is tiled…”
R:”It is.”
P:”That’s unusual for a storage room.”
R:”It may be.”
P:”Someone used to live here.”
R:”For the last time.”
P:”That’s the kind of information you need.
You may have bought this place for a lower price than it was worth.
There in the corner, near the window.
There’s enough room for a bed.”
R:”I don’t need to know this.
Come.”
We get out.
R:”I need you to keep this location secret.”
P:”From?”
R:”…”
P:”I understand.”
