“I am unqualified to make a decision.” Amato states, standing stiffly as usual, “I am unable to create an objective under typical circumstances, special permissions are required.” He glances to Leo and Annabeth, passing the responsibility.

[Wake]

Amato quickly updates his database. He glances to each of the three others in turn, “Do you have any further requests?”

[Wake]

Nagisa nods back then sits on one of the chairs in the waiting room, pulling his knees up to his chest and hugging his arms around them.

[Wake]

Leo glances at her, all the anger seemed to have faded out of his gaze, making him look more sad than anything, “it’s fine, I just…” He sighs, putting his wings in his hoodie pockets, ” people have been telling me how to act and think since I was a kid and I’m just sick of it…” He holds out his wing to Fern and gives a small smile, “So, I’ll forgive you.”

[Wake]

Amato glances back at Leo and briefly explains the situation to Guan Yu, then picks up the book “the Lighting Thief” for Annabeth and tucks it under his arm. He turns toward Leo and began to explain, “He is Guan Yu, a general of the Han dynasty made famous from the historical novel ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms'” He glances back towards Guan Yu, nodding to him again, “It’s quite the honor to meet him.”

[Wake]

Amato nods to Annabeth, “Please follow.” he shows her through the store then he runs into Guan Yu as well. Instantly, he recognises him and bows deeply and respectfully. He begins to formally greet him in an archaic dialect of Chinese that seemed to roll off his tongue more fluidly than English.

[Wake]

“…I-…” Nagisa starts, then fixes his gaze to the ground, guilt outweighing his reluctance. He nods once and follows after them without breaking eye-contact with the floor.

[Wake]

“You both appear in this series of books, as well as Annabeth appearing in the Percy Jackson series by the same author.” Amato explains, “The books were popular ranging from their publication to the earliy 2020’s, then gradually lost the mainstream audience ‘s attention.”

Nagisa shakes his head, “I’m not… Please don’t worry about me…” His voice came out softly and vaguely melancholically, “…Ill wait for you here.”

[Wake]

Leo glances at her and scowls a little bit, then turns away from her coldly, “What do you want?” He asks, beginning to walk again.

[Wake]

Amato nods, following them into the store, “I shall retrieve the requested literary work.” He quickly walked into the heart of the shop, an area lined with shelves and packed with books, then shortly returned holding a crisp hardcover copy of the first book and presents it to the two of them.

[Wake]

“Ah, that’s not the problem,” Okarin says, looking away from Mary and giving a somewhat forced smile, “As professionals, we generally aren’t supposed to discuss patients backgrounds with anyone save for relevant doctors.” He leans further back in his chair, beginning to twirl his pen in his fingers.

[Wake]

Nagisa, catching Fangs eye, looks down again, feeling somewhat guilty but still unable to bring himself to walk through those doors.

[Wake]

Amato nods, “it is noted. I shall inform you at a more convenient time.” He holds the door open for the two of them, giving a slight respectful bow as he does.

[Wake]

Snidely chuckles quietly, “Yeah, I guess.” Then he spots Leo on the other end of the block and sprints to catch up with him. Approaching, he extends his wing and taps Leo on the shoulder to get his attention.
