“THERE’S A WALL OF FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 

Arsene didn’t know whether to laugh or scream, when the paranoid boy jumped onto the safe with him.

“Why haven’t you already used your power to get whatever’s inside the safe and climb through a…that–” He half shrieks, while pointing at a vent.  “-while I cause a distraction?”

The issue was that Arsene couldn’t force himself to use his power again. Sudden images appeared in his mind, when he had awakened his power. He remembered nearly erasing his brother from existence. He saw his terrified expression, as Saga attempted to regain control over his power.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry Sage. I failed you. I know you won’t forgive me.”

Because he stopped paying attention to reality, the safe careened into the wall.

“I’m going to do something really, really, really stupid.” 

Leaping to the front of the safe, Arsene took out his handgun, shooting at the lights. While the wheel system Arsene used was made with a durable steel frame, it was likely trashed now. Although that would be a problem later, Arsene didn’t care at the moment. Focusing his power, Arsene grabbed Crorie from behind, initiating his power to render her unconscious. The black and silver nether drained Crorie enough to knock her out. Careful to not overdo it, Arsene deactivated his ability.

“I’m sorry. I hope you and your brother will be able to forgive me someday.”

It was likely a forgiveness he didn’t deserve. He couldn’t ever hope for Sage to pardon his errors. That sin was far from unforgettable.

Abruptly, Arsene realized that he was holding Lady Crorie in his arms, which quickly turned his face red. As if this wasn’t embarrassing enough, the wall of fire that the boy started triggered the sprinklers. Although it did a great job at extinguishing the fire, it preformed magnificently in drenching Arsene Lupin.

“Not again. It’s the fourth time this month.”
