1.98: All is 'well' with them.

They sat silently on the way to the Purple Hazels, still processing what Haruro told them.

"You've been quiet the entire ride. Was what he said really that puzzle-some?"

"I really had no idea about the importance of leadership…now that I think about it. All this time, I thought that it would be a walk on glass, yet a walk I'd still want to take. And now that the opportunity is in front of me… I'm running away from it."

Franco glanced out the window. "Well, the good thing is that you're learning from that mistake. And that decision can change your previous setback. There's no point in pondering it now; all that's left is to redeem yourself and do your best."

Tedashii smiled and tried to stay positive. "Alright! So, who do we have next?"

"We're on our way to the 7th district to meet with the Purple Hazels."

"Oh, Ryuko and them. She seems strict, knowing she's the oldest captain."

Franco just laughed sarcastically and stopped the car. "We have made it."

They both got out of the car for Tedashii to notice they were on the outskirts of the 7th district. "... care to explain what we are doing at the EDGE of the town?!"

"You're going to fight ME for taking you to their headquarters?" Franco gloated. "You should be thankful that I even know the hideouts by head!" 

"... Actually! How the hell do you even know them all?"

"(I was trying to guess which guild Nikki was in!!!) For emergency purposes!" He smiled at Tedashii before they both turned their head to the right. There stood a purple well at the exit of the district.

"You want me to believe this is their hideout?"

"This is not even the worst one yet..." He said while sighing.

So they approached the well with a rock. "Don't you think a coin will do better than a rock?" Franco asked.

"And pay a guild for nothing?! Keep in mind we are the lowest-ranked guild! We need all the money we can get."

"Aww, so much for a free penny..."

A voice from behind caught them off guard. Ryuko appeared in her casual clothes with a drink in her hand. "What does it take for a generous donation these days?"

"Ryuko, great that you're here. I wanted to speak with you." Tedashii said.

"Sure then, hop in…" She pointed at the well as Franco and Tedashii stared back at her.

"You… you're joking, right?"

"You want to talk to me or not?"

Tedashii glances at Franco. "NO, YOU GO FIRST! You want to talk to her, not me."

"Fine,"

So he shut his eyes and jumped in. "AAAAAaaaahh…"

…

They stood still for a few seconds. 

"So, did he make it to the bottom?"

Ryuko kept spacing out. "…huh? Why did he jump in the well?"

"I thought this was the entrance to your hideout?!" Franco asked worryingly.

"It is…AFTER you activate the door."

BEEP!

She pressed her guild badge, and a portal appeared in the well. "…oh, I'm not getting away with this one…" Franco sulked.
