halton is being questioned by a weird man in what seems to be some sort of resistance base. apparently lucy told him that halton helped her escape from there. he asks if this is true and halton responds "Uhh, yeah i did. What is going on?"
"oh that was our grunts's fault. if we knew you were on our side we wouldn't have treated you so bad. the names Aiden Pendelton."
toucan and rei have gotten very close physically today. rei grabbed toucans, you know what. and toucan took her in his arms and enjoyed jumping into the hot spring together. it seems toucan just thought the time was right. he thinks to himself "Eh fugg it". he leads rei to a secluded area of the cave and puts her down. everything was smooth until he opened his mouth.
"So uh... You wanna do gross things with me... wait, that sounded dumb... I meant to say that differently"
rei responds with "w-what kind of things?"
both of them, in a secluded area of the cave, talking about what kind of things, or "gross" things they want to do with each other. at the end of the day, it wasn't smooth but it got the job done. still not fade to black yet, but it's a step in the right direction.
