A Man Like None Other

Ezio sighed and sat to the side, frustrated by his stubborn sister. He had to figure out a way to get through to her.

Suddenly, the door swung open, startling both siblings.

At such a late hour, who would suddenly enter their room?

As they got into a defensive stance, wary of the intruder, they saw that it was Jared who had entered.

“You two haven’t left yet?” Jared asked in surprise.

He had assumed that since Ezio was released, Mia would have taken him and left.

After all, Mia had only come to Beast City to rescue her brother. Now that her mission was complete, leaving made sense.

“Jared, you… How did you get out? And how are you walking around the streets during the curfew?” Ezio asked, his face full of shock.

“Answer me first. Why haven’t you left?” Jared asked in return.

“I was worried about you, so I stayed behind to wait for news. And my sister has been thinking about you so much that she can’t sleep. If we left without seeing you again, she’d be heartbroken!” Ezio quickly explained.
