A Graduation Party

Ivan had just graduated with his first degree from university, and he and his friends intended to have a party at a karaoke bar to sing and drink. He invited Daren to come along because his friends wanted to meet the Omega.

"They said they liked seeing you on television. That's why when they found out I was friends with you, they wanted me to invite you. So you don't have to worry about them rejecting you," Ivan explained.

"Really? Good then. I hope I'm not intruding," Daren said.

Ivan was actually hesitant not because of Daren, but because Axel was with them too. He had asked Daren that Axel didn't need to come. Moreover, Barney believed in him, it would be fine if Daren only went with him.

However, Daren himself wanted Axel to come with him. "If he doesn't go, then neither do I," he said at the time.

So Axel was forced to go with them to the karaoke place, where his friends were waiting. They left at 8pm and intended to return the next morning.
