Kapitel 1274: Mission in Frankfurt (2)

~ Germany, Frankfurt ~

6:10 PM

Jesse is in the hotel room, getting ready for his evening mission.

After the café, Jesse and Oni returned to their hotel to change. Jesse told Oni that he will handle tonight's mission on his own so that she can rest. To his surprise, she accepted.

Usually Oni would insist to join him but now it's different. She is different and he knows why. Jesse told himself more than once to shake it off. He needs to let her go and this is for the best. For all of them. He needs to stop acting like a toddler who is hiding a toy so that others can't find it while refusing to play with it himself. And Oni is not a toy. She has a will of her own, and her will is to distance herself from him. He needs to respect that. Somehow.

Jesse walked out of his room and looked at the door on his right. He hesitated for a moment before walking toward it.

Oni answered the door after several knocks. "Yes?"
