Nia arrived to the Far East Branch when hell itself unleashed.

It was a good thing that it was only inside her head.

"What the hell did I just do?" She thought, while drinking some beer. Her body had gotten used to it so much that it was practically impossible for her to get drunk, no matter how many bottles she downed. "Well, more like what the hell did I do an hour ago?".

She still couldn't believe it was possible she had adopted a girl. Much less, than said girl's family couldn't take care of her anymore because they had all become mindless zombie-like beings.

The events simply overwhelmed her, and even after carefully considering the implications, she still felt overwhelmed because of what she had done.

-Humm... Nia? - She heard a voice to her right, and turned to see Alice. She was rather cute, with that brown hair falling down to the middle of her back seamlessly and her large ice-blue eyes looking at Nia.

-Hm?

-Do you... have anything to drink? - Nia took out one of her brother's ridiculous Fanta bottles and gave it to Alice. She remembered having argued with him more than once that Fanta was "child's drink" and that he should "begin to drink something", but being the stubborn mule he was, her words meant nothing on the long run. Of course, that was a good thing now. - Thanks! I prefer Sprite, though.

-Pffft. You have any idea how hard getting one of these is? They cost 1000 fc the pack of 6. So don't be picky. - Nia's words went out of her mouth almost without thought.

-I didn't say I disliked it. - Alice said, and took a long drink from the small bottle.

She wondered what her brother was doing and if he'd approve of her actions.

Practically on the other corner of the world, Baluar was falling incredibly fast until his sword digged into a large, strange being that controlled electricity. He was smirking all the while, imagining the face Lina had when he threw himself to what appeared to be certain death.

He had to admit, though, she was pretty hot, what with her being stronger than any woman he had seen before (well, not counting Nia) and having a nice shape, too. Her love-hat attitude towards him was attractive as well, although if it became too exaggerated he'd have to do something, for he hated overtly-expressive tsunde...

At that very moment, a chill went slowly through his spine, causing him to tremble.

"Oh god. Whad did she do now?"

She only kept driving until she got to the Den, where every occupant of the bus - Alice, Rufo and herself - got down. Nia left Alice in Kota's hands while she went to talk with Hibari, who was coordinating an attack on a Quadriga from the Defense Unit.

-We need to prepare an extermination. Zombie-ish creatures roam around the mountains.

-Very well. Shall you lead the attack? - Hibari asked, leaving her microphone for a second.

-No. I've got deadlier things to deal with.

-Huh?

-See that girl there? - Nia said, pointing at Alice. Hibari nodded. - She's the only survivor, and on an impulse, I, uh... adopted her.

-WHAT? Nia, do you have any idea of the amount of paperwork that's gonna require?

-See what I say? Those papers are deadlier than any mortal Aragami, I tell you.

"Even after bureaucracy slowed down the response to the Aragami, killing billions across the world, they make me sign papers that I'm not gonna need in like, ever. Wonderful. " If she had spoken, the sarcasm would've been so overt that she feared her mouth would taste acid afterwards.
