I return to the High Tower with another pressing issue on my plate, battling through several levels of security in order to gain admittance.

Outside, the streets teem with City Guards, much of the area cordoned off as the investigation into what happened begins, with several people up on the balcony analysing the crime scene where Commander Fenby was shot, ferried up by some piece of machinery.

Again, I know that my tendency to help those I care about is rising to the fore, even if it may put my mission in jeopardy. No doubt Zander will have some harsh words to say on the matter, and perhaps even Adryan too.

And yet, I don’t care. Frankly, my brother has plenty of explaining to do himself once I finally connect with him in my mind, something that I seem to be unable to do right now.

Naturally, along with my desire for an explanation, my concerns about his safety also begin to burgeon.

Please be OK, Zander. Please don’t be dead

And if you’re not, I’m going to kill you myself…

Before leaving Sophie and Rycard, however, I make sure to dull their memories of what I’ve told them about me, the Nameless, the Consortium, and everything else. And while they were both seemingly unsurprised by my status as a Hawk, revealing that I’m a Mind-Manipulator does cause some level of astonishment.

Still, it was a necessary reveal. Unlike simply imparting an order, I need to spend a little time in their minds in order to hide their recollections of the past couple of hours. And while I could just try to erase the knowledge of who and what I am completely, I feel such a thing could be counterproductive given the situation.

After all, it’s important that they know who I really am if they’re to trust me and go along with my plan. So, I have to satisfy myself with doing a rather untidy job of hiding their recollections and hoping that no one comes prying. Unfortunately, I’m not yet anywhere near as skilled as my brother at concealing memories

The one person, of course, who I fear the most right now is Agent Woolf, the stalking nemesis who just won’t leave me alone. And as I return to my apartment that evening, she rushes straight back to the forefront of my mind once more.

Stepping out of the lift at level 51, I see a flash of grey disappearing into another lift down the corridor. In truth, it could be anyone, but with me being on such high alert, I can’t help but worry that she’s been snooping around.

Rushing into the apartment, I find Adryan in the living room, watching the hologram as it plays re-runs of the attack only hours ago. Seeing me, he jumps to his feet and paces straight at me.

“Brie! Where have you been? Are you alright? I’ve been worried…”

“I’m fine, just fine. Um, was someone just here with you?” I inquire.

“No,” he says, frowning. “Like who?”

“Oh…it doesn’t matter. I’m just being paranoid.”

“Well, what’s been going on? Why weren’t you back here for the start of the ceremony? I was waiting for you.
