The Training Center is in the Suburb, and commuting to the city takes several hours round trip. It's rare to have a day off, and with assessments to prepare for, no one is in the mood to shop.
In the end, only Memoria Campbell leaves.
Changing into casual clothes, Memoria leaves the Training Center, heads to the nearest bus stop, and boards a bus heading to the city.
After just one stop, an elderly man boards the bus, and Memoria promptly stands up to offer her seat.
The elderly man keeps thanking her, and she just smiles and stands aside, continuing to think about how to bring up this matter to her father upon returning home.
Suddenly, there's a strange tugging sensation from her right pocket. Memoria snaps back to reality, only to see someone quickly moving away beside her. She raises her hand to check her pocket—her phone is gone!
"Stop!"
She takes a step forward and grabs the person's arm.
"Why are you pulling me?"
