"Your duty, huh..." Rage thought for a moment. "Perhaps it's gettin' rid of sins? Ya seem to be quite good at it."
Rage stubbed out his cigarette on the arm of the chair, and put it in his coat pocket. "My side of the story... ain' much 'bout me, I guess. Well, actually, there is, bu' it ain' really interestin'. Well... I was born in Russia, since I'm part Russian... a third, or somethin', I think it is?" he looked up, trying to remember. "Doesn' really matter. 'Bout 2-an'-a-half years later, Fabian was born. We were pretty close, closer than mos' brothers at our ages. Probably 'cuz of Dad; he died when I was almos' four... bu' he died savin' lives, so tha' was some sort'a consolation, I guess. We grew up, went t' a local school... we had happy lives, we weren' poor but neither were we rich. Jus' sittin' somewhere in the middle. Then things went downhill." he looked at Jean, watching his face intently for his reaction. "I was chosen -- purely by chance -- for some sick 'xperimen'; they were tryin'a make a human tha' didn' get angry or have negative emotions, bu' predominantly the not gettin' angry part. Turns out the technology wasn' advanced enough, they ended up with me; a human tha' can' express anger 'cept in large amoun's. They -- the people tha' 'xperimented on me -- though' tha' I was, although a failiure in tha' aspect, a good learnin' point or some s**t like. I was worried tha' they'd target my friends and family, 'cuz we had similar lifestyles, outlooks on life... so I changed completely. Differen' looks, personality, even name. I moved house, started workin' t' pay the rent... went t' A of E, where there were dorms. Whole load'a s**t happened, Ndale-chan probably told ya 'bout the main couple'a thin's... the first, tha' 'Thaniel-chan was gonna write 'bout under the name of 'Typical Evenings'... then when we crossed dimensions." Rage looked away again, flicking his lighter absentmindedly, staring at the flame. "We met some time-travellers - well, they were more dimension and time travellers, bu' still. An' 'cuz of a slip-up on one of their parts, I knew wha' would happen to each an' every one of us." Rage gritted his teeth, focusing on the click! of the lighter. "I knew tha' 'Thaniel-chan was gonna die in thirteenth dimension, I knew tha' Fabian would be the one t' take Nicodemus Cortex's eyes, I knew tha' A of E would collapse and be rebuilt, I knew tha' I would stay here instead of goin' back. I knew tha' Ndale-chan would go back." Rage blinked a tear away from his eye, feeling the sting. "I knew tha' I'd be the only one from N-Team to stay behind." he sighed heavily again. "Ah well. I also knew tha' I live t' at leas' twenty-five, although I ain' gonna get myself killed jus' t' see if it would change anythin'." he laughed at the thought of him possibly being immortal. Then again, he thought to himself. According to Ndale-chan, I've technically died twice.
A thought struck Rage. He decided to throw a random question at Jean, just to see his reaction. "Have ya ever died, Jean-kun?"

Jean listened with intrest he thought about sacrasticly asking if Rage needed a hug but knew it wouldnt be appropriate at a time like this. Thoughts ran through jeans head 'time travelling? dimention hopping? i thought those were sapposed to be illegal' rage continued his speach jean put on more intrest with a mix of sympathy... manly sypathy and another thought comes across jeans mind ' so rage feels left behind and the one with most pressure because he knew what was gona happen but couldnt anything about it?' when rage asked 'have you ever died jean-kun?' jean layed back on the desk " well at birth my quadruplet brothers died, and since were quadruplets we have the exact same DNA so biologicaly yah... three times"jean cringed as remembering his sin " ok i might have left out a tiny detail. my quadruplet brothers didnt die right after they were born from natural causes they were killed by that thing and imprisoned their souls into my body to do it's duty not mine...well at least thats what my guardian said" as usual jean talks as if it were nothing. " you may be wondering why i talk like its nothing thats because i know its not always about me" jean tilts his head towards rage but does not look at him directly at his eyes " so how does this make you feel? what do you wana do about it?"

Rage ran his hand through his hair, feeling somewhere between frustation and wanting to say something comforting. When he had asked if Jean had ever died, he was meaning if Jean himself had. Then again, it was a stupid question. Rage had never properly died, since the first time was in a vision and the second was only his body going into lockdown, making him look like he was dead.
"So how does this make you feel?" Jean asked, bringing Rage's attention to him again. "What do you wanna do about it?"
"'Bout wha'?" he asked in reply. "'bout knowin' wha' will happen t' me?" assuming that this was what Jean meant, he continued. "All I know is tha' I can' go back t' A of E for at leas' twenty years, else the world 's we know it could collapse. So I ain' gonna be doin' anythin' 'bout it."

Rage laughed, giving a thumbs-up of his own. "Tha's good t' know."
Just then, Rage yawned widely, stretching his arms above his head. "Should'a slept las' nigh'..." he murmured absentmindedly.

"Pulled an all nighter?" jean looked at the clock and realized that he just skipped class but pretends to ignore it "yah well after today im kinda afraid to go to bed now... does this school have dorms?" jean fixes himself up and looks outside the window with caution.

"Probably does..." Rage stood, also glancing at the clock. "********, I'm gonna be late-" he cut himself off, laughing. "No, I ain'..." seeing the confused look on Jean's face, he explained. "A of E had nigh' classes f' the guys an' day classes f' the girls; back then, nigh' classes started at seven. Oh, an' t' answer ya question 'fore, technically yeah, I did. An' the nigh' 'fore." he added to himself. "Ah well, let's go see if they have dorms here." he spoke in a normal tone of voice, walking over to the door. He stopped and turned around. "You comin' or not?" he asked.

"I do take education seriously!" Rage protested. "When have I ever not-- actually, ya may have a point there." Rage glanced back at Jean and saw the slightly uneasy look on his face, even though he knew the other teen tried to hide it. His gaze darted around, searching the shadows for anything suspicious. "Yeah, tha' migh' be a good idea." he said in reply to Jean's suggestion.

jean walks by a door that says stairs, he opens it "wow" the stairs were right next to a huge window that practically took up the whole wall. the view from the window was extraordinary far of mountains a forest and a shining lake with a river streaming into a valley. the strange part is there was no landscape like this outside of the school. " its a mural, it looked so realistic i actually thought it was the real thing" jean looked up and was even more awed for the stairs looks like it goes on forever " i thought that this school only had four floors." this place felt magical, not a sound was herd from the noisy school yard and the tinniest pin drop would echo for miles up the never ending stair case. " rage what is this place" said jean fascinated

Also gazing, awestuck, at the detailed mural, Rage was jerked back to reality (again) by Jean's voice. "Rage, what is this place?"
"I have no idea... but I think I know why I stay here." he breathed, with a soft smile on his face.

jean gave a small chuckle then turn back to the mural "where is that light coming from?" said jean as jean walks up to the mural wanting to feel it but afraid that his touch might ruin the masterpiece. jean continues up the stairs and he felt as if he were leaving earth for the mural continues up into space jean knows he wants to do the rest of the day and that was to find out where these stairs lead. jean stops at the second floor and looks back at rage "wana keep going?"

"...yeah." Rage regretfully tore his gaze from the mural and followed Jean. Scanning the corridor, he saw numbered doors, the floor carpeted instead of tiled. "I think this'd be dorms, righ'?" he said absentmindedly. Walking down the corridor he saw that some rooms had a sign saying 'free'. Curiously, he pushed open one of the doors with a sign on it, and glanced around the room. They were laid out similarly to the ones in A of E, two beds situated adjacent to the right wall, plain white sheets, floor, and walls. "I guess we could take this one?" he suggested, looking back at Jean. "Tha' is, unless ya want to stay in separate rooms?"

"herm.... actualy i would like my own room but i really dont care... do you want your own room? i know im not making this easier on you." jean walks inside the dorm and sits on one of the beds and looks around "sure i can share a room dosnt matter now i think of it" jean takes out his staff and rolls it under the bed he takes off his jacket and lays it neatly on the bed. "now if you can excuse me im gona explore the stairs." jean walks out of the room and then walks back in " nevermind the door is gone"

"Uh... the door is gone?" Rage repeated in confusion. He checked the doorway and sure enough, there was no door. "Would someone care t' tell me... wha' the ******** is goin' on?"
