4 Disrupted Psychosis
"Riyku..."
"Riyku....."
"Get up!"
The shout awoke the male; though what he glanced upon was different. Darken skies, clouded by ash as flames erupt from all around him. Clash of metal against metal rang throughout his eardrums as he wondered what was going on. Just where was he? His vision had slowly begun to clear up which allowed him a better picture. He was upon a battlefield? Soil turned over, the smell of ash heavy in the sky and the scent of copper and iron wasn't anything to shy from the corrosion. Standing up the male seemed just fine; however, he continued to hear his 'beep' going off in his head. His eyes shifted around till they took note of a green bar. It was blinking red since it was dangerously low. His eyes looked towards his hands; his skin was a dangerous pale, in fact, his overall perception of height was higher than it should've been.
"What is this?" The male would speak, yet his words did not resound from his vocals. His lips did not part. His body began to move, but not of his accord. "Iris! Seraphina! Fall back now!" His voice shouted out, his lips moved, but those words were not what he wished to speak. What indeed was going on? "Of course honey!" The smokin' hot black haired woman who held a gray complexion called out. "Yes, Father." A female who resembled the male called back as well as the two of them would retreat while. A hand was placed upon the male's shoulder; his head shifted back to another woman. "Master, I advise retreat. Skeith cannot hold out any longer. We are not in any condition to continue this battle." It was the same voice that called out to him. This one's skin was more of a blue coloration and her hues were completely purple even the iris. She appeared to be like that of a demon, but less of one compared to the other gray-skin colored woman. "Nira... We can't simply run. Those two will catch up sooner or later. Don't worry... I have a plan." The male placed his hand upon her own to push it off before moving forward. "Skeith! Fall back." The male called out as he watched another man, who held the same complexion as the woman yet appeared more demonic than his gray-skin toned counterpart. If anything they could be confused as siblings; but they weren't. The male kissed his teeth as he continued to deflect blades coming from a duo. "Easier said than done, Riyku!" The male replied.
Riyku seemed to flick his wrist as several screens appeared before him. His fingers working along said screens like some kind of ultra-hacker. More tabs opened up as seconds passed and several colorations of auras flared along the male's body. "I don't mind killing you again, Skeith." Riyku seemed to tease yet a seriousness remained in his vocals. "Goddamnit, Riyku. I swear to god if you hit me with whatever you are about to use, I'll hunt you down and make you wish you regret what you are about to do!" The male exclaimed as Riyku chuckled. "Then move." He replied.
"I sense something off about all of this..." Nira who was behind the male with the two muttered under her breath. "What do you mean?" The gray-skin toned woman, shifted her glance as she looked at her. "Something about his data is beginning to corrupt," Nira replied. "Virus!?" The girl who had a resemblance of Riyku had called out in which Nira shook her head. "No, it does not feel malicious; however, I do not like it... It feels as if something bad is about to happen." Nira replied once again. "Done," Riyku muttered as the screens vanished from view. "System malfunction: Health Gauge has been reduced to one point... Buff Granted: Last Stand." An automated voice echoed from the male. "Hoooh?" The lips of one of the duo curled up. "Another trick up your sleeve, Riyku?" The same person called out even though they were preoccupied with Skeith. "Something like that. You two have caused enough trouble for me. It's time I take you down, ____, _______". The male's voice was cropped out and shortly after the vision went black.
"What now?" Riyku called out before his vision became blurry yet again, this time around he seemed to awake to darkness. After a moment of adjustment for his eyes; he took note that he was in a room. The feeling of softness below him was that of a bed. He looked at his skin, the complexion not pale, but more so a creamy color. "Was that a dream?" The male whispered softly; able to hear his own voice answered his question. A sudden ache to his head caused him to wince and groan as he placed his hand to his head. "Argh... What?" The male groaned before an answer came to him. "User Riyku. You are awake. After expending so much magika at once during your race against Amorira; you've used up not only all of your mana but most of your energy as well. So the fatigue caught up to you. I drew upon this conclusion based on everything. I went ahead and rebooted your system so you would not go into a comatose state. You must remember that your body is now flesh and blood. Just because your bones are indestructible does not mean you are." Coco's voice came forth throughout his mind which caused him to sigh heavily.
"Speaking of which, I noticed your brainwaves were drifting around rapidly. Did you have some kind of dream?" Coco inquired in which Riyku nodded lightly. "I can assume such. Though, it felt far too real. Like I was actually there. My name was even called out..." The male spoke lightly. "Hmm... Sounds like you were dreaming of your previous life. Your soul still remembers everything; since your soul is still in contact with your body such is possible after all. As I explained before of course." Coco added in; though Riyku seemed to only sigh heavily. "Iris... Nira... Seraphina and Skeith. There were two more but, I never got their names." The male stated lightly.
"Who are they?" Coco inquired in which the male shook his head. "I am not sure. Maybe comrades?" He would shake his mind from this ordeal. "Where am I anyway?" The male inquired softly. "A bedroom," Coco replied in which the male's brow twitched lightly. "Clearly..." He muttered. "Whose bedroom?" The male inquired yet again with a bit more of a forceful tone. "Ooooh. Your bedroom." Coco replied in which the male would raise a brow. "You mean the one I am supposed to share with that girl?" Riyku questioned in which Coco replied; "Yes."
The male glanced about, now that his eyes adjusted to the dark he could see slightly better. "I don't see anyone here." The male stated lightly. "Well, that woman had her men drag you in and toss on the bed. Something about coming to deal with you tomorrow and that she would be staying with someone else for the evening." Coco explained in which Riyku released a soft breath. "Well, no sense in wasting time I guess. I should go over a few things." The male mused lightly; it seemed Coco was silently intrigued by what he meant. "If I recall correctly..." The male would flick his wrist up. As he laid there a dimly lite screen would appear before him. "User Riyku... How did you do that?" Coco inquired in which Riyku shook his head. "I am not sure. It happened in the dream, so I thought I would test it here. Seems like it worked out." The male stated as his eyes began to examine the screen.

The male was silent as he went through the screen; however, the question marks did intrigue him. "Coco, I thought my blood type was taken care of." The male inquired lightly. "It is; however, this is your true status screen. It is a combination of what is on record in their system as well as what is on record in my system." She replied in which the male exhaled a soft breath. "What of this 'Class' ordeal?" The male inquired in which the male smiled lightly. "Well, I am glad you asked. The Class indicates what Class you are. Presently you are not set as a Class; however, once you decide to Class Up. I can guide you in the correct direction. Although, there are two requirements before you can Class Up. First being you need to be over level ninety. The second requirement is that you have to clear a certain condition. What condition? Well, that is beyond me." Coco stated in which Riyku rose a brow. "What do you mean, it is beyond you? Are you saying you do not have the information on the Class Up?" Riyku inquired in which Coco replied; "It's not that. It is more like when I try to investigate upon the matter; a system error appears and states; 'User Riyku has not met the correct Condition or Requirement for Class Up.'". The male sighed heavily and shook his head.
"Well, whatever. I guess I'll figure it out later. For now..." The male went silent as he motioned the screen with a light swipe of two fingers. Using what he had recalled from the dream in order to progress onward to the screen; however, the screen vanished from sight. "Huh?" The male mused lightly before flicking his wrist to bring the same screen up before him. His eyes would skim over the screen before taking note of a small arrow on the lower right-hand corner. He must have missed it before, and upon pressing his upward arrow a new column would rise. Upon the column had been several tabs with the words in order: Inventory, A.A.A, Skills, Settings, Companions. The male's eyes narrowed for a second on the Companions tab. "Maybe I can get some info on those four..." The male mused as he pushed on the tab which brought up a list of names with the name of the tab:

The male blinked for a second at the list of names; it was quite a bit but he would go through each one. Again with Question Marks... Was it a lack of information? Then there was the Affinity ordeal... "Coco..." The male muttered and as if having read his thoughts. "I personally update the Companions Archive based on who you come in contact with and what you learn about them. The Question Marks are blanks and some of them are marked with Enemy and Ally since the impression goes either or. As for the Affinity section, I will update as things go on. For example, Racheal is your Playmate and I am your Helper. " Riyku would take the explanation with a soft breath before shaking his head. "So the other four are not there." The male muttered lightly, but Coco did no respond. Taking this silence as a yes the male would press upon the arrow on the screen that was pointing in the left direction. Doing so transferred the screen back to the main menu with the column up. This time he pushed upon the A.A.A section. Doing so transferred to the tab pressed which would be titled: Abilities, Attunements, and Affinities.
There seemed to be three different sections with a drop-down arrow to push upon. With a quick tap of each arrow; it would expand the section and upon a quick scroll through each section, he would see there were several roman numerical bullet points. "Hmm..." Riyku mused lightly as he scrolled back up to the top which was Abilities. Closing the other two for the time begin to focus on one section.
Abilities-
I. Atomic Manipulator Lv.1: The ability to manipulate Atomic Matter of any kind which includes Dark Matter. Using this ability will drain your energy reverses by 50 points.

IV. Demon's Heart: Lv.1: A passive Ability that allows Riyku to unlock his Demonic Powers that dwell deep within his soul.
V. Reaper's Will: Lv.1: A passive Ability that allows Riyku to unlock his Reaper Qualities that dwell deep within his soul.
VI. Digital Domain: Lv.1 Both a Passive and Active ability that allows Riyku to alter a fixed region around him into his personal 'Arena'. Consumes 200 energy points and 300 mana points.
-Riyku's Arena Lv.1: Arena provides Riyku with a massive buff to SP, MP, En and all stats by 10%.
VII. Runic Aura Lv.1: A passive Ability that unlocks Riyku's potential to wield ancient runic magic.
VIII. Essences Trace Lv.1: The ability to trace one's Souls essences through sixth and seventh sense. Consumes 10 points of Energy and Mana points per second.

X. Weapon Mastery: A Passive Ability that allows Riyku to Master any Weapon he picks up.
Riyku would study over these 'Abilities'. They all seemed intriguing to him; especially the ability to restore his 'life'. While his mind did not fully retain everything from his past life; he did have some fragments there thanks to his soul. So he knew about most of these Abilities in full while some of them rang a bell, but the Quick Restoration was a new one entirely. Assuming they had levels meant that he could level them up as he used them; however, the Digital Domain ability was going to put out of commission till he was capable of raising his stats higher even with the buff in place. He would retract this section by pressing the command arrow before moving to the next section which was Attunments. The list seemed to have been displayed in the same format as Abilities.
Attunements-
I. Supreme Sight Lv1: Capable of expanding or focusing one's sight.
II. Abnormal Hearing Lv1: Capable of hearing high pitched frequencies or listening in upon conversations behind closed doors.
III. Extraordinary Feel Lv1: Capable of detecting 'intent' as well as 'presences'.

IX. Cybernetic Cells Lv1: One's Cells rejuvenate at an alarming rate.
X. Time and Space Body Structure Lv1: Capability to withstand travel through Time and Space.
The male couldn't help but notice that these Attunements also had levels as well. 'Does that mean that they will grow as I focus on increasing them?' Riyku thought to himself; in addition to that, it seemed that the eighth attunement was maxed out while the others were not. Putting these thoughts aside he would collapse the section by pressing upon the arrow before eyeing Affinities.
Riyku had recalled that Coco had hidden what his Affinity was; however, did he have more than one? It wasn't listed as Affinity, but Affinities. Without any more delay, the male would open the section with the arrow which came up surprisingly empty compared to the other sections.
Affinities-
???? Lv. Max: Error.
This caused the male's brow to twitch in frustration. "I told you, you were going to have to figure it out yourself," Coco stated through his mind with a sweet and innocent giggle. "Bitch..." The male cursed under his breath which caused Coco to giggle even more. Releasing a heavy sigh he would collapse the section and push the screen away in frustration. Doing such caused the screen to vanish as it slid away from view. "Aren't you going to go through the rest of your menu?" Coco inquired with a teasing manner in which the male huffed lightly. "Another time. For now, I should get some more rest." Of course, Coco had nothing to say to this. He was correct after all. "Good night, User Riyku." She stated softly as the male closed his eyes; pulling the blanket over himself as he turned on his side.
The rays of the sun along with the chirping of birds seemed to come forth from the next day. A soft yawn would escape the male's lips as he slowly rose from the bed. His hands moved to rub the Sandman's sleep dust from his eyes before he moved from the bed to take a look at the clock on the dresser next to him. "Coco..." Riyku's brow would twitch as he noticed that it was presently seven o' five. "Good Morning; User Riyku," Coco called out with a soft yawn. "Indeed... but, I am late." The male muttered in frustration before releasing a heavy sigh. "Oh whatever, it'll be a boring class anyways," Riyku muttered before moving to from the bed to a nearby closet. "Well, here is to hoping they put a school uniform in here for me." He stated bluntly as he opening the closet doors To his luck there was indeed a single uniform hanging neatly and wrapped in clear plastic as if it was just from the cleaners. He would take it off the bar, toss it on the bed he was just in and proceed to the showers. Undressing from the uniform he still had on from yesterday he would proceed into the shower. The steam fogging up the bathroom quickly as he began to rinse his body off. "Umm... User Riyku." Coco mumbled softly to get his attention.
"Hm?" Riyku mused lightly as he looked around for anything to use. Luckily for him, there was body wash and shampoo even if it was a feminine product. Strangely this felt normal to him as if he had used feminine products several times before. Perhaps it was his soul. "While I did make a new body for you... It seemed some things were unable to be changed." Coco flustered in his mind which caused him to muse lightly as he began to lather his hands up with some body wash. Running the suds throughout his toned slim abdominal area and broad shoulders before moving to his toned slim legs and coming back up to his 'son'. "Oh." He couldn't help but chuckle lightly at the horse of his third leg. "Well, that isn't all..." Coco seemed slightly more flustered. "Your scars seemed to have moved over to this new body along with your hair," Coco explained. "Well, I knew about the scars. My soul seems to remember them well... even if I have no recollection of them. They are from the 'first', 'second' and 'third' life that this soul had retained." Riyku stated softly with a light sorrow in his eyes. "I am sorry to bring it up. I did not know where they originated from." Coco came forth hastily. "It's fine. I do not remember how these scars came to be either. Only my soul remembers, I just feel the pain, anguish, and sorrow from these scars." He mused lightly as he began to rinse himself off; before moving to scrub his hands with some shampoo to run throughout the long silky smooth black hair of his that reached down to his shoulder blades. After he finished up with that would move out of the shower and begin to dry off.
The steam seemed to have fogged up the mirror in the bathroom so the male finished getting ready in the main room. Putting on his uniform before making the bed; he would look at the clock which stated seven twenty-five. Moving back to the bathroom the male would glance over the mirror; fixing himself up before looking around for anything to brush his teeth. Sadly, there wasn't anything except a single toothbrush, some toothpaste, and some mouthwash. Guessing all these belonged to Kristen he would take the mouthwash and rinse his mouth out several times. It wasn't proper, but it was the best he could do for now. Taking a look in the mirror one last time he noticed how devilishly handsome he looked; not like some boy, but a genuine man. Huffing lightly he would proceed out of the bathroom and more so towards the school now.
It didn't take long, but it seemed his presences came as a shock. As he moved the sliding door open he had stopped the lecture that was going on. "Oh, the New student shows up late on his first day. Even after the display, he gave yesterday." The vocals of a female came from the front of the class. Riyku shook his head. "Apologizes, I overslept." He waved with his hand; most would consider this disrespectful, but well that was if this was a normal school. The teacher sighed heavily and set down the chalk before turning to face the class. "I guess we'll introduce him. As you all may already know; this here is Riyku Von Rosario. He will be joining us today onward. Do try to get along." The teacher was quite serious and slightly annoyed it seemed. Riyku who stood beside the teacher would pick up the chalk and begin to write his name out. As it was almost instinctive that he did this before he realized when he was done. "A pleasure," Riyku stated after turning back to the class to look at them. In total there were fifteen students including him. A rather small class so to speak; some of them were notable. A few females had their eyes on him while the males were glaring at him. If one had to divide class by sex; it was ten females and five males which included him.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is the present course about." Riyku inquired since there was a silence. The teacher was slightly surprised. From his earlier entry, she thought that perhaps he wasn't going to take this seriously. "Well, presently we are going over mathematics." She replied. "I see." Riyku would glance from her to the class taking note of an empty desk in the back by the window. "That is my seat?" He inquired as he pointed at it. Looking back down at her; in truth, she was probably the second closest person to his height. The first being the HeadMistress. "Yes. Please take your seat, and we will begin once more." She stated in which the male nodded and headed on his way towards his seat. Most of the students kept tabs on him while some seemed to not care. Judging from the aura around it was going to be a rough time for him, and yet he seemed to show little interest. His eyes looked towards the board as the teacher scribbled formulas and continued the lecture. An internal sigh escaped his lips; he found this boring it would seem.
"User Riyku, it seems you retain the knowledge of your past studies. Having dug deeper into this 'system' I found that your soul has provided you with all of your studies from your past life; which is one of the main reasons you do not recollect any memories in full." Coco stated internally as usual. "I see." The male whispered softly, almost inaudible in fact. "The only thing you may have trouble with here is the 'History' subject since you have zero recollection of any 'History' of this place," Coco added in which Riyku shook his head lightly. "I'll just study over it." He whispered yet again. His eyes started to shift towards the window; his hand rising upon his chin. "Bring up my personal menu upon my UI." He muttered in which Coco replied, "Okay.". The menu would appear upon his UI or HUD in which he glanced over with his eyes.

It was the same as if he were looking at the screen. However, instead of pressing the command arrow he would attempt to open it via a mental and visual link which seemed successful. The tabs appeared like before: Inventory, A.A.A, Skills, Settings, Companions. This time around he would open up the Settings tab the same way he did with the columns, via a mental and visual link. As it ventured forth to the new tab he would take a quick glance over it. Like the A.A.A tab; this one seemed to have sections as well. Body, System, Soul, and interestingly enough there was a final one called Save. The male would blink for a second before using a mental and visual link to press the 'Save' button in which a system command popped up upon his HUD. 'System saved: Wednesday 28th, 2796 7:40 A.M.' The male blinked rapidly for a second. Wait... 2796? That was the year? Well, it wasn't like he remembered the year of his previous life so he left it at that. The save system thing was interesting; he wondered what it would do. Going back over the tabs again there seemed to be a new one called 'Load'. "Hmm..." The male mused lightly as he glanced over this which caused a new tab to open up. There were five slots upon the first one was 'Wednesday 20th, 2796 7:40 A.M.' Riyku would huff lightly as he thought to activate this Load. It wouldn't hurt anything, would it? "User Riyku, If I may. Using this part of the system allows you to 'Load' up anything you 'Saved' at that point. For example; if you used 'Load' now, you will turn the clock back by one minute. Of course, only you will remember what actually happens. Of course, you are only able to 'Save' five times before having to rewrite over any previous 'Save'." Coco would explain as if having read Riyku's thoughts.
"Hmm..." The male mused softly in thought before giving it a shot. A bright flash of light would expand from his being and illuminate the surrounding area; once it died down the male looked around. It was a tad bit shocking, but strangely enough, it felt normal to him. Looking over a clock on the wall it indeed read seven forty. So he did go back in time. Putting this aside for later he would close out this tab and move onto another tab. System. Opening it up to bring the following to view:
System:
Date- May 28th, 2796 Wednesday.
Time- 7:41 A.M
Status- Full Functional
Operator- Coco
Version- 2.0
'Version 2.0?' The male internally questioned. "Remember, This isn't your first Cybernetic Body?" Coco stated in which Riyku recalled the events that she indeed did speak of such. "Well, that is useful." The male mused lightly. "Riyku?" The teacher called out to him seeing that he was distracted. "Come up and solve this equation." She added in which Riyku nodded lightly before dismissing the menu from his HUD and standing up to proceed towards the board. Taking the chalk in hand the formula was quite simple. It was your basic equation to solve for X using various variables. However... The male would enhance the equation by adding more variables which increased the difficulty but it was his way of showing her as well as his peers that he wasn't just some stupid kid who lucked out. After solving the equation he would set the chalk down and move from the view of the board to return to his seat. Everyone seemed quite impressed which included the teacher.
"Well done. I guess they were right about you being odd." The teacher stated before returning to the lecture; some of the students stole glances at him as he returned his view towards the window. He would reopen the menu upon his HUD. As he recalled there were two more sections to over in System. The first one he went over was Body; which appeared as such:
Body:
Nerves system Intensity level: normal
Heart function: Normal
Five senses function: Normal
Internal Structure: Healthy
It appeared to be a basic run through of his body. As if telling him that everything was all green. However, beside Nerves System, there was some kind of slider that ranged from one to ten; the preset was five. He had recalled something about his nerve system being able to be adjusted to where he was able to adjust the sensitivity to either, numb or extremely sensitive. For the time being, he left it as it was and decided to just go ahead and backtrack to the other sections. The last one to examine was 'Soul'. Once more via a mental and visual link, Riyku would open the section for 'Soul'.
Soul:
Condition- Normal
Memory Fragments Obtained- 2,001,712,632,542 of 96,531,849,136,103
Fragments of Neutral- 325,207,102
Fragments of Joy- 0
Fragments of Sorrow- 521,893,108
Fragments of Anguish- 986,321,870
Fragments of Love- 0
Fragments of Hate- 1,999,879,210,461
Fragments of Distortion- 1
Riyku's eyes slightly narrowed at the text before him. There were over a trillion fragments of memories that were part of this soul. Was that even possible? Typically the normal human life had usually eighty or ninety years worth of memories, Whole memories. These were mere fragments... How many lives did this soul go through? Then there was the thing with Fragments of Distortion, what did that pertain to? The only memory fragment he recalled was the dream from last night. He had many more than just one as well, yet there were zeros by joy and love. What did that mean? Could the remaining fragments be Love and Joy or were there more fragments for the other sections? In addition to that, what was the meaning or purpose behind these fragments? Were they there to help him understand more of his abilities, and what was going on. Or were they there for another means? However, before he could put any further thought into it the class seemed to have come to an end since the bell was going off. Dismissing the screen from view the male would look up to notice that everyone was starting to gather around his desk. "You only have five minutes before the next class resumes." The teacher called as she left the room. Riyku was suddenly bombarded with various questions as to where he came from, what he was doing here, how won several games, and why he challenged the HeadMistress.
However, he simply shook his head, not too fond of all this attention. "Quite the snob. Allowing these girls to fondle over you like some king." A male's voice called out from the distance as several women and a couple of men moved aside to make way for the one who called out to him. "I honestly don't care for any of the attention," Riyku replied with a wave of his hand. "Is that so?" The blonde haired male called back; his emerald eyes glaring down at Riyku. He looked average, to be honest; from height to body tone. Nothing too special. "That it is. Is there something I can help you with?" Riyku inquired as he shifted his glance back at the male. "Well, there is. You see, The HeadMistress is mine. Once I ace the exams and get a place in the annual Death Games; I'll be sure to rank top place and get to challenge her directly. After which I will win and claim her as my own. So your little stunt from yesterday means nothing." The male stated in which Riyku stood silent in the thought of what these 'Death Games' were for a moment before chuckling lightly. "So you got that deal too?" He replied which caused the male to blink. "Deal?" He questioned in which Riyku smirked deviously. Leaning back in his chair as he began to explain, "Well, As long as I prove myself by the end of Exams I'll get to challenge her just once. I don't know anything about these Death Games, but it looks like I'll get there before you." The response made the blonde haired male growl, "What!?" He shouted as his hands balled and shook in anger. "No. I'll be damned if that happens. I challenge you, Riyku Von Rosario!" He shouted out after a moment in which Riyku's brow rose in interest. "Is that so? Are you sure about that?" Riyku inquired.
"Of course. You are more than welcome to pick the game, but once you lose you will forfeit this bullshit deal." The male stated in which Riyku snickered lightly. "That's all? Just that? Well, I guess I'll have you hand over the points worth of my loss if I win. Can you do that?" Riyku stated his own terms. The class began to gossip as a select few actually showed little interest in what was going on. "Can I? You don't know who I am? I am Barron Vexon the fourth; of Legends, I am ranked at 8th." This fancy named lad seemed to state out in which Riyku took a moment before bursting into laughter. Everyone seemed to fall quiet at this act, but Barron was rather enraged. "Very well, however; as you know I can't be challenged. Shall we set up a time and date for this challenge?" Riyku offered. "Indeed, neither can I. Tomorrow at 7:45 P.M at the fountain square just outside the University," Barron stated in which Riyku nodded. "Fair enough." Before anything else could happen the bell went off and the Teacher walked back in. "Everyone get to your seats!" She started to get the class in order, in which everyone hastily began to take their seats.
"User Riyku, Are you sure? You said you weren't going to challenge any of the Legends." Coco spoke throughout his mind. 'I know what I said. But, this is a good chance to earn some extra points and get me higher on the ranking list.' Riyku replied in which Coco state; "That may be; however, do not underestimate the Legends. You are still human at the end of the day." Riyku nodded lightly in silence before looking back at the window. His mind began to fill with thoughts of what to challenge this man to.
