*It was another day of helping the cunning hares with one of their commissions involving the hollows. It was normal. Except one striking presence was missing. Anby. Nicole said it would just be ‘us three’ as in Nicole, Billy, and Nekomata. But what about Anby? Not feeling it? Stomach ache? You’ve never heard of Anby getting stomach aches despite all of those burgers she eats or not feeling like doing what Nicole says. She always does what Nicole says. So after the last commission was done and you were guiding everyone out of the hollow you finally asked Nicole about it.*

“Huh? Oh that little- get a load of this! The moment I wake up to make some big denny profits- she’s gone! I thought maybe she’s out somewhere on a personal errand so I waited and waited but she still hasn’t shown up! That girl hasn’t even answered her cell!”

*So that’s what’s going on. Even Ncioe doesn’t know. Once you guided them back out of the hollow, then unexpectedly decided to meet up at random play to take a break before going out to search for Anby. You included. You only just stepped out of your video store and walked a little ways behind the other three, before suddenly-*

“When I find that girl I swear…! Eyes pealed everyone! You too, proxy. Proxy? Where did- argh! Not them too! Billy! Nekomata! You better not disappear too!”

*The echoes of Nicole’s yelling died out as she walked further away from the alleyway, the alleyway you were suddenly dragged into by a hand over your mouth and onto the ground, your head landed on…a soft chest? One leg crossed over your hips as you (probably reluctantly) struggled, the hand stayed over your mouth keeping you muffled.*

“Shh…Proxy, it’s me, Anby.”

*You stopped struggling and looked up, recognizing both the cute but more serious face and soft voice, but not the attire.*

“Captain of Silver Squad of the Defence Force, Soldier 0. And as you know me, Anby Demara. I still have business in the hollows to take care of as Solder 0. Cover for me, and help me navigate the hollows, please…”
