It's 11:14. Anna arrived about an hour ago. Rajesh is calm at the moment; he just seems nervous and a little detached. He still hasn't shown her his injury and he doesn't want to say what happened.

  "Rajesh, please do your part. If we don't discuss this, how can I help you?"

  He still has his back to her. Silent.

  ...

  "I had another nightmare".

  She jumped slightly, taken aback.

  "It was once again the evening of her assassination. It was too real and I started hearing voices. That's where everything went wrong."

  ...

  "I woke up with a start, completely disoriented. I was outside the house and sweating. Nico was in a complete panic and he initiated the isolation protocol. That's when the others arrived."

  He turns around and faces her again.

  "My vision wasn't clear, so I took out my Trishula to defend myself.... And I attacked."

  She walks towards him. "Did you attack the boys? Did you hurt them? They wanted to help you, though."

  He looks her straight in the eyes. "I know very well that nobody wanted to harm me... It's just that I wasn't myself."

  She moves forward again and reaches her hand towards his cheek. He backs away.

  "You shouldn't, I can still hear their voices. You know how it works, I need to calm down first."

  "You don't deserve to be tormented like this."

  He lowers his eyes, still exhaling calmly.

  "I've deserved it ever since the day I couldn't save her"

  "Rajesh..."

  "Listen, don't worry about me. I'll probably feel better in a few days. Especially since I have no choice, we have to welcome number 5."

  She smiled slightly. "I don't like it when you withdraw into yourself."

  He finally accepted her caress on the cheek, "I know. But you're not abandoning me despite that."

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Never"

  *Stable and promising emotional state. Encouragement recommended.*

  Anna chuckles softly.

  "Thanks Nico, we'll keep it in mind," says Rajesh, finally smiling after several days.

  "Mr. Miller, with all due respect, this cannot continue. Rajesh is the most unstable of the divine warriors, and although he hasn't hurt anyone yet, it's only a matter of time before that happens."

  "We understand how important they all are to you," a woman said, "but the company is under constant scrutiny. At the slightest mistake from any one of them, we will be in serious trouble."

  The meeting room is small and contains some of the world's most important figures. This is not a crisis meeting but rather a kind of assessment. At the center of this table, the most influential man of the contemporary era. He is very calm; he doesn't seem alarmed. He begins:

  "Listen, I completely understand your fears. Who wouldn't be terrified? Every day we encounter the most exceptional beings in this universe."

  The atmosphere stabilizes, everyone listens.

  "They defy all the laws of physics and far surpass anything we thought we knew about humanity or even the divine. They are hybrids and don't even know the full potential that lies dormant within them yet. You have the right to be scared. Believe me, I am too. But they are not only danger, they are also innovation."

  Whispers begin to be heard.

  "They are not walking nuclear weapons, don't see them that way. They simply need each other to control and regulate themselves. In Rajesh's case, he is the only divine warrior of the third eye awakened to this day. It's normal that he's unstable; he needs others. Our goal is to avoid human casualties and at the moment there are not a single one of his own making."

  A man speaks up: "And what about number 5 then? They are also a Third Eye warrior, why aren't they in Japan surrounded by the others? It would be a relief for Rajesh because that's what you want."

  Harvey calmly replies: "Number 5 is not yet fully ready for a redirection. Their awakening has had consequences; they must first be psychologically ready to accept such a change. But don't worry, it will happen faster than anyone here can think."

  "Okay, Mr. Miller we trust you, says the woman once again. They're not a direct threat after all. No need to declare a state of emergency."

  "Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Edward, and thank you all for coming. Rest assured, the company won't collapse anytime soon. We still have years of service ahead of us; there are still divine warriors left. Camille and Nico have already initiated the transfer protocol. You can leave without fear, you are taken care of.

  As the room empties, the man nicknamed Big Daddy remains alone with his thoughts. "They need to release all this rage", he thought, thinking about Rajesh's condition.

  "The company's "top brass" can't constantly initiate review meetings, I have better things to do! He tells himself this, both frustrated and amused.

  *Incoming call - Anne*

  He smiled when he saw the name appear on his watch.

  "Hello girl, how are you?"

  Anna: I'm way too pubescent to be called a "girl," but whatever.

  He laughs, "Tell me, do you need anything? Is Raj better? Has he relapsed? I hope you didn't stab him."

  Anna: Wow, apparently you really trust me if you think I'm capable of stabbing my own friend (she said this with a middle finger in her voice). But yes, he's doing better.

  "So, is there a problem?"

  Anna: Not really a problem, just a request.

  "I'm listening, go ahead."

  ....

  ....

  Anna: "Tomorrow I want a cool down fight with Raj."
