Allen's eyes twitches as he stood outside the building where the Bryans' firm was located. He didn't know what exactly happened, but his time to serve the lawyers were now shortened by a week.
He sighed and looked around, trying to digest the things that had happened. He was in a neighboring city from where he was living before he got the power of the Snake, so he decided to travel to his hometown.
From the months that he had left, nothing much has changed. The streets looked the same, the people looked the same, and the misery that was left by his past was still lingering in the apartment he used to live at.
"Hello? May I help you?" a woman's voice spoke beside Allen. This made the boy turn to the side and made contact with a plump woman who had short and curly hair. She was wearing a loose pink sundress while her eyeglasses sat on top of her head.
