[Alfred] Alright, so Khakis told me to meet her here... [Alfred] Ah, Hellven. I missed those peaceful times before my- [Alfred] Well, I may as well head in now!
 * A couple of hours later...
 * Alfred stood in front of a restaurant building named 'Hellven's Buffet'.
 * He shakes his head to distract him from his megalomaniac past.
 * And so Alfred headed into the restaurant.

''Why the frick am I so nervous? This is just a date, nothing bad will happen, right?''

''Snap out of it, Alfred! You've known her for two years now! You should be used to seeing her!''

[Khakis Flora] Alfred? Are you okay? [Alfred] O-oh! Ev-everything is fine, I-I'll assure you! [Khakis] Alright, because you've stared into nothing for about five minutes...
 * Alfred, who was just staring off into oblivion, suddenly snapped back into reality. His bowl of 'mintie' was barely touched.
 * Khakis gave a concerned face.

[Alfred] I w-was? Huh... [Khakis] You don't seem so well than you think. Is there something wrong? [Alfred] It's... Well, yes, but actually, no...
 * Alfred slowly ate his bowl of mintie. There was a lot going on in his mind, mainly about his conversation with Dr. Hm this morning.
 * Alfred gave up eating the mintie and simply began mixed the contents of the bowl around.

[Khakis] The entire day, you've been pale and really exhausted, even falling asleep. Professor Hm had to wake you up a couple of times after our session, but you didn't.

[Alfred] Oh...

[Khakis] Have you been drinking coffee again, even though you said you weren't going to again?

[Alfred] No I haven't.

[Khakis] Trouble sleeping?

[Alfred] Yep.

[Khakis] ...Are you having another fatalistic crisis?

[Alfred] ...Yeah. [Khakis] Oh dear... Not again...
 * Khakis became more worried.

[Alfred] There's not much anyone can do to help me... If I'm gonna go get help from a counsellor, I'll sound stupid. You and Doctor can't really help me, because my thoughts are based on events that has happened out of this world...

[Khakis] I really do wish there was something I could do to help. What can I do?

[Alfred] I'll figure it on my own. I'll be fine, Khakis.

[Khakis] Promise me that. I don't want you to get into trouble. [Khakis] You know what's funny?
 * Khakis continued eating her bark-fibre noodles.

[Alfred] How stupid I look right now?

[Khakis] Well, admittedly, something other than that. [Khakis] Sorry about that.
 * Alfred gave a short chuckle, then frowned.

[Alfred] No no, it's fine.

[Khakis] Anyways. I find it funny that these 'dates' are just you just telling me your problems, and not actually us two spending time together.

[Alfred] Yeah. Sorry.

[Khakis] Well, I just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, and Doctor isn't around, you've got me here too. People care about you, Alfred, but you need to realize it.

[Alfred] ... [Khakis] Well that was a pleasant meal! How are you feeling now, Alfr- Oh boy... [Khakis] Well, I guess I'll have to take you home myself!
 * A few minutes later, Alfred and Khakis had finished their meals.
 * Alfred had fallen asleep, his head face-down on the table.
 * A tendril sprouted from behind Khakis. It wrapped around Alfred and carried him. Khakis headed off out the restaurant.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' Hello, Ms. Flora. How was the tryst with Mr. Tinio?
 * Back at Alfred's apartment, someone knocked on his room door. Dr. Hm floated over and answered the door, wearing some ferroplasm gloves that allow him to interact with the physical world.

[Khakis] The typical, Doctor. Actually, I'm here to drop him off. He's fallen asleep... Again.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' Why, come in then. '''[Dr. Hm]''' Feel free to make yourself at home. [Khakis] Do you mind if I stay here for the night? The homeless shelter I was staying at got caught in a fire.
 * Khakis walks into Alfred's room. It was rather cramped, but at least it was tidy.
 * The vine brought Alfred into his room.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' I'm sorry to hear. Feel free to stay here.

[Khakis] Thanks, Doc.
 * Khakis sat on a couch. She and Dr. Hm began to talk about various things.

[XXXXXXXXXXX] Begin the X-Event.
 * Meanwhile outside, there was a parade. Flashes of colour sprung from everywhere you looked. Everyone danced around as music was playing. It was Chromatica's 3105th birthday, and 3105 was a special number, at least in the Olliverse. Don't ask me why I didn't really think it through.
 * Suddenly, an entity appeared from the shadows. They had a bright red X on their face.
 * And so he disappeared.
 * Red X'es appeared from everywhere. People began to worry, especially since these X'es made people more fearful. Suddenly, lasers in the formation of X'es sprout out from the red X'es, destroying anything in its path.
 * Buildings collapsed. People got killed. The red X'es spread across the city of Chromatica, destroying everything. All shook as the great city was reduced down to rubble.
