When Aaron's jail time was over, he stretching his whole body, presumably even his back accidentally cracked & make him feeling relieved again, he went out of his jail & Valentine was waiting for him.

Valentine: "Hey, darling. Wanna go home together?"

Valentine asking if Aaron wants to walk together with her, while Aaron who stopped on his tracks, hesitated & had to deny her request

Aaron: "N-no, it's fine."

Valentine: "Come on, Aaron. I know you want to. Come on, let's go."

As she signal Aaron with her head & grab his wrists to make him follow her, as Aaron is surprised & gets a bit annoyed by this, yet couldn't admit that he liked it. As they both of them walked & arrived at home, they then opened the door & reveal the furniture being dusty & messed. Valentine sighed but couldn't help it, as she immediately clean all the messes Aaron did in his home.

Valentine: "Aaron, have you ate? I can cook for you."

As Aaron sarcastically nodded, Valentine then smiles for him, as she goes for the kitchen & prepared the food.

Meanwhile, as they both eating, Valentine asked him

Valentine: You know...

Aaron: ?

Valentine: I'm getting too old...I felt like I never going to get a boyfriend, since I literally marrying to my work. It's funny, isn't it?

Aaron: I think that you're still beautiful even in mature one.

Valentine: (cough food & her cheeks blushed red) oh...stop it, Aaron. (She playfully tap at Aaron's shoulder)

Valentine: And...I know you're going to be an raider, Aaron.

Aaron: (he stopped halfway of eating his food & was stunned by her discovery) How did you...?

Valentine: You forgot that I'm used to be the detective, right?

Aaron:....I guess I forgot.

Aaron & Valentine chuckles & even had a fun time together.

At night after the meals, they gaze at the stars

Valentine: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Valentine praising at the star's beauty, while Aaron gaze the stars with the silent nod.

Aaron: "Vale?"

Valentine notice he calls her

Valentine: "Yes Aaron?"

As she asking him back

Aaron: "Thank you...for letting me become the raider."

She's surprised by his appreciation, but quickly smiles again for Aaron & hugs him from his side, as they gazed the stars together.

Meanwhile, the shadowy figure who is standing at the forest, been watching at both of them, silently disappearing from the darker color.
