Wednesday / 4:00 PM / R.I.I.C
Doctor is looking through paperwork he received from Amiya. But he's been reading the same paper for 5 minutes now. The word on the paper written “Financial” above it, and it was filled with a negative amount of total spending inside it. The Doctor shook his head and thinking how he can fix this problem after he lost most of his memory.
“How can I solve our situation...” said Doctor while calculating the amount of spending that could be decrease. Then, a knock can be heard in his office door “Get in.” he answered without looking.
Amiya opens and walk inside “Doctor, Your guest has arrived” she said while waiting for his order
Doctor was lost for a bit before remembering he had an arranged meeting with a powerful person from Kjerag. He quickly tidy up his desk before telling Amiya “Come in.”
Amiya nod and open the door behind her. Then, there was a tall figure of a man wearing a fancy suit with white hair, an ear of a leopard, and a long white fluffy tail standing in front of the door. Doctor was amazed by his figure from range.
“Good Evening, Doctor.” The Man greets him while showing a gesture of bowing down like a gentleman. Doctor quickly stood up before replying
“Good Evening to you too. uh.. Mr. Silverash” Doctor almost forgot the person name who was bowing down unexpectedly in front of him
This was Doctor first meeting after being amnesia, with the most powerful person in Kjerag. His name is Silverash. And He came to discuss a deal with Rhode Island... Specifically, Doctor.
“Please sit down” Doctor show him toward a blue sofa before sitting in it, followed by the tall man Silverash.
“Well then Doctor, Shall we start our deal?” Silverash spend no time before he talk to the point of their deal, Doctor was caught unaware of it but he nod in agreement while Amiya standing silently in front of the office door, ready to assist their meeting as a secretary.
“Very well, Go on” Doctor let Silverash start the discussion.
“As you can see, Rhode Island was not far from being bankrupt after countless of funding lost during these last few years.” Silverash showed him a paper he bough in his pocket suit
“Even with some of my help, This organization still cannot escape from being in red.” Doctor knew what Silverash talked about. It was about his dearly loved youngest sister that was being treated in Rhode Island for few years now.
“Yes.. That's right” Doctor confirmed the situation they currently have
“So, How about this Doctor.” Silverash eyes suddenly became serious while looking toward the masked doctor
“You might forget about this offer after waking up and having an amnesia” he stopped talking and look toward Amiya, “Can you bring Courier inside please?” Amiya nod before walking out of the office to call Silverash assistant.
While Amiya was out, Doctor asking for more detail about the 'offer' Silverash talked about. “I'm sorry. Can you explain what kind of offer you talk about?” hoping Silverash to answer him
“Ah.. Well, It's just a simple offer. And by doing so, You could receive 50% increase of funding from me” Doctor was surprised by his words '50% increase?!' He cannot believe it. What kind of offer that made the pre-amnesia self did not sign such a good offer?
Doctor hoping for more detail but Courier has arrived inside and bring him a case with a contract paper on it that need to be signed
“Well then Doctor, This is the contract. You can read the details more on the paper” Silverash shows him the contract paper and put it down above the glass table.
Doctor then read the terms and agreement of the contract cautiously to make sure he understand it and not getting tricked by Silverash. Though he doubt a man like him would trick a person for a contract.
After a few second of reading, Doctor saw an interesting term agreement inside the paper “..Agree to give a White DNA sample to Pramanix for a successor heir of Silverash Family...” The term caught him confused and he decide to ask toward Silverash himself to explain about it
“Excuse me for a minute, What does 'Agree to give a White DNA Sample to Pramanix for a Successor heir of Silverash Family' mean?” He asked, but then Silverash quickly answered
“Well, Since you are a male, You should know what that means.” Silverash made Doctor thinking for a few second before the realization hit him “Oh..” but then followed by “Wait, Why?” Doctor expression was more confused behind the mask
Silverash took his breath before explain the situation toward the amnesia man. “Well, as you can see, I have another sister, her name is Pramanix, and she is the only person in our family that are uninfected by oripathy. And we need someone special and healthy who are opposite sex that can give a successor toward Silverash heir line family by doing it from Pramanix.” Silverash made sure his words are clear enough for the Doctor to understand
Doctor became flustered “B-But you can't just force me marrying her-” Silverash quickly clear his throat
“You DON'T have to marry her. Just give us your.. DNA Sample and it would be fine.” the feline man cough “we know that we cannot force you to do that after all..” Silverash remember a certain woman of Rhode Island that he afraid of.
“W-well.. I..” Doctor cannot express his answer about the deal anymore after reading the terms.. but with that amount of money increased for Rhode Island, it would be a small sacrifice to be made for a long run.
“Give me a second here..” the Doctor need to think about this situation. He knows that if he agree, Pramanix would have his child. In morality, it would be weird after knowing that she hold your own child without his support. but on other hand..
Silverash saw the doctor thinking deeply about it, just like last time he offered. and he will make sure post-amnesic Doctor would agree about this offer “Don't worry about my sister. We already talk about it for a long time and she agree to it” he promised that his sister will be fine about it.
The Doctor sighed and scratching his head “Well.. If she's fine about it.. then I guess I shouldn't worry too much..” he start to pick up the pen and Silverash was widened by the doctor hand movement. But then, a sudden interruption came
A loud cough can be heard across inside the silent office “Doctor, I think you need to consult it with Dr. Kal'tsit first before agreeing this offer.” Amiya voiced her advice about the offer right before the Doctor write his handwriting.
Doctor follow Amiya advice “Ah, You right.” He put the pen down again to the table “Well, Mr. Silverash. I shall talk about this with Dr. Kal'tsit first. After all, She's the one who call every move in here.” he pick up the paper and gave it toward the white haired man, who keeps menacingly staring toward Amiya.
Silverash break his stare and fixed his suit before standing up “Well then, I shall await for your answer.” he told Courier to pick up the paper and leave the room in rush. He was in a bad mood after sudden Amiya interruption right before the Doctor sign the paper, and then making the Doctor change of mind
“I'm very sorry for his sudden rush, he is busy man after all. Don't take it personally please.” Courier felt the need of apologize toward Doctor before saying farewell and leaving the room to chase his boss.
It was quiet in the office after the two guest left. Doctor stood up from his chair and scratch his head after remembering the good offer from Silverash. “I will tell Kal'tsit about it as soon as possible.” he leave the office without telling Amiya (forgetting about her presence) and leave her alone.
Amiya exhaled her breath “Well.. I'm just doing my job” she smiled and decide to follow Doctor footstep outside his office.
Doctor was walking fast across the hallway to go toward Kal'tsit lab. But then she saw her walking across the hallway alone. “Kal'tsit!” he shout her
“Doctor?” She heard his voice and saw him running toward her, “Kal'tsit, We need to talk” Doctor said to her and try to catch his breath first.
“Talk about what..?” Kal'tsit confused of what the Doctor meant
Doctor begun to explain to her “well, you see.. Silverash offered a contract that can increase our funds--” but then his words were cut short by her
“No.” The green clothed woman said without a hesitation
Doctor was surprised by her sudden rejection “But I'm not even finishe--” he got cut again with another rejection
“No Doctor.” she said it loud and clear for his ear to pick up. Leaving the Doctor dumbfounded.
After a few second of silent between two of them, Kal'tsit decide to move on “Is that it then?” she asks him before walk toward her lab again
he called her as she took a step “Kal'tsit..” Doctor voice suddenly change into a deeper tone, making her surprised when she heard it.
“Yes?” she look at him
The masked man stare at her sharply behind the mask “..You do know our financial situation right?” making sure that she's well aware about the current situation Rhode Island currently have right now
Kal'tsit nod “Of course Doctor. But I do not allow you to accept that offer no matter what.” Kal'tsit give him a sign of knowing what Silverash offering him. It happened 2 times in the past before he got amnesia, and they already discuss it a few times before too.
Doctor tone change to normal after hearing her words “Why then? It's not like I'm going to marry her or anything. I'm just going to give him my DNA and--” she cut him again
“No. I am not allowing you to give your DNA to another person.” now it's Kal'tsit turn to gives him a glare.
Her stare make him took a step back “Why?” Doctor try to clear his throat “It's not like I'm never going to marry anyone. Someday, I might find my love partner and make my own family you know?” he coughed. A little flustered thinking about the future of his love life.
“...” Kal'tsit became silent after that. And she quickly leaves him without any words and go toward her own lab, “W-wait Kal'tsit! I'm not even done--” - “I'm busy.” she continue to walk without giving the Doctor a look.
Amiya silently listen to them in the corner and sighed 'If only he knew..' she decide to confront the Doctor who left alone by the woman.
Kal'tsit arrived to her lab and quickly lock it so no one can get in. She sit on the chair silently, thinking about the Doctor words again “It's not like I'm never going to marry anyone. Someday, I might find my love partner and make my own family you know?”
His innocent words cut her deeply inside her feeling “It hurt when you said it like that..” she put her face in the desk and try to hold her emotion from coming out. “I hate this” she begin to slam the desk as hard as she can that it leave a crack on the surface.
Kal'tsit start to remember the long past when Rhode Island was founded.. and there she was, standing with the man she love in an altar.. making their vow to each other.. where the world was more quiet and Reunion was barely known in public, where she was able to spend time with him talking together and laughing in office and private..
She missed those days very much.. If only it could be like that forever, they might be able to have their own child in the near future.. if only..
Kal'tsit start to tear up and silently letting it flow. She was tired from holding it for a long time. And so she let her emotion control her mind until it was completely empty and back to her normal self.
And so, Kal'tsit was left alone without being interrupted and able to clear her minds after almost an hour passed. Her eyes were red from the constant tear she had. But atleast from releasing her emotion, she will be able to focused on her work completely.
