"Since that Brady bastard kicked us out, should we go for a drink, honey?"
"Don't call me 'honey', Clarissa."
"Don't get caught up in the small details. Answer my question."
"I'm mad at Brady... I think I'll come, but don't overdo it. Then I have to deal with you."
"You care deeply about that scum's destruction. He won't be able to use his powers anymore, he'll lose his willpower. He won't be a problem for us, honey... I know you enjoy messing with me."
"Just because he's powerless doesn't mean we let our guard down... By the way, I'm not a womanizing freak, Clarissa. Save your thoughts for Brady."
"You think logically sometimes, Orion... But as long as you don't cause any trouble, we'll succeed. Be careful, don't get carried away. We all know what happened that day. That bastard, now weak, would have defeated us because of our mistakes..."
Before heading off to get drinks, Orion and Clarissa began talking in front of the building where Brady, Quinn, and the others were. Then they disappeared completely, as if they had never been there. Just then, Brady and the others continued their conversation.
"Looks like you fired Orion and Clarissa... Did they make noise again?"
"They're fighting over this mess right in front of us. I'm nervous about going against Clarissa, but they're making unnecessary noise..."
"They're right, just standing here is torture. What we pretend to be isn't who we really are... We see this damned scumbag's face every day. But you seriously can't have made the mistake of going against Clarissa..."
"To destroy, sometimes we have to give up, Quinn... He hasn't completely lost his power, he still struggles from within, unwittingly. Many of us died because of this filth... He must feel the painless pain down to his bones."
"Even though he has been depressed since the first day, his will is strong, he will seriously cause us a lot of trouble."
"Most of his strength has completely vanished. Only a little bit remains, and the rest is just struggling a little too hard. He doesn't even realize it."
"We've been wasting our time on this mess for the past three days... Seriously, I'm leaving now, I won't stay long enough to harm you."
With only Brady and Quinn remaining in the building, they continued to make their final preparations. Despite their weary expressions, they no longer cared. They lived for the one they sought to destroy. There was very little left for them. Some, or perhaps others, would have to fight like them. Victory would only lie in the hands of those who fought.
