A few hours passed as he yawned, Kimura looked to hear footsteps coming towards the cell to see Asuka. He was surprised that she even came as Naoki and Ayameko had also come along, although Ayameko wouldn't have given two shits about it.
"What's going on here?" He questioned
"We heard and we're here to bail you out!" Asuka shouted.
"No we're not dumbass, we're here to visit until the Sequence specialists could give the VCPD the green light." Ayameko snapped at Asuka.
Naoki didn't say anything as he was just too tired to notice, however he did care since he came in some shape or form. Kimura was just happy they showed up as Leo came walking by waving with the aura of a savant.
Just shortly after their arrival, the specialists came to the cell as they opened it, "Let's go. If you are cooperative, you'll get done quickly." the specialist said as Kimura stood up with the heaviness of the metal boxes still attached.
"Release the metal boxes." The specialist asks the police officer.
"But-"
"Did I stutter? I'm fully aware that he's not going to fight back."
"O-Okay."
The police officer entered first and pulled out a scanner that was holstered around his belt. A beep happened when he scanned the code bar on the metal box as they fell and landed with a loud thud. Kimura rubs his wrists but still the nullifying bracelet on his wrist.
"Let's go Kiddo."
The specialist commanded as Kimura did as he was told. Disobeying orders in this current state will just cause and paint him more as an unstable esper. Kimura walked out, Naoki, Asuka, Leo, and Ayameko moved to the side as he walked with the Specialist.
"I hope he doesn't snap." Ayameko quietly comments.
"Huh? Snap?" Asuka looked at her.
"Specalists are here for a reason. All we can do is just hope."
Ayameko didn't sound as cold as usual, rather rarely showing emotion to a person she doesn't really consider a good friend.

Meanwhile, Kimura and the Specialist enter a Sequence Chamber. The walls were reinforced with a specialized metal, their feet walked onto smooth metal as Kimura sat in a chair.
He puts his arms on the table as the bracelets magnetically snap onto the top. The Specialist locks the door as he pulls the chair out from the other side, sitting down and scooting towards the table. "Do you just like causing trouble…" The specialist asks Kimura, the thick and tenseness of the situation for the specialist can be felt throughout the room.
Kimura looks up with a heavy sigh, glaring at the Specialist. The Specialist wore a nametag saying "Specialist Varme Yu'hura". He sat upright, his posture was assertive as he leaned forward towards Kimura, Varme bore a scar horizontally on his forehead as he had ice-blue hair and burning gold eyes.
"Kimura. This is the sixth time…" Varne spoke, seemingly tired of having to apprehend a growing teenager.
"Sixth time you had to see me in the span of four years…" Kimura spoke back.
"Yes…The Sixth time I've had to do this…" He sighs.
Varne gets up from the seat as he walks over to Kimura's side, Kimura faced forward throughout as Varne leans on the wall. "Just…tell me why you're back here kid…" He had his arms crossed speaking to Kimura again.
"There were kids that ran across the street, I had to do something…"
"Noble but dumb…" Varne replied coldly.
"What?" Kimura looked over at Varne with an outright confused look, "How is that dumb?!?"
"You know our- The rules that the generation before us have established." Varne stands back up walking around the table and Kimura.
"So it's wrong to save people?!?" Kimura snaps back.
"No, god no that's not what I'm implying." Varne replies.
"Then what are you trying to imply?!?"
"I'm trying to imply that our powers outside of the academies or certain situations and places are forbidden!" Varne raises his voice.
Kimura clenches his cuffed hands into a fist, people who are viewed in a good light like the VCPD and even Specialists, aren't able to save a few people out of the goodwill of their nature. It sickened Kimura inside, seeing that a flaw as just saving lives is being taken advantage of.
"So…Why am I arrested for saving someone…" Kimura asks Varne.
"You were using your abilities outside of an authorized area. Not as bad as your five other times."
"Then what about everyone else here?!? Why can't we-"
Just as Kimura was about to question yet again, Varne slammed his hand on the metallic table. Kimura out of instinct shuts the hell up, looking at Varne who was already heated about having to do this again.
"Just…stop it kid…" Varne asks.
"Nothing's going to change. You were arrested because you used your abilities in a public space. People still fear us…of what we're capable of…" Varne breaks it down to Kimura.
"Too many espers have done stuff for selfish desires. You have a bright future kiddo…just follow the rules and treaties and no one gets hurt…"
Kimura looked at Varne speechless. He knew the basics that espers were somewhat retained from using abilities outside of academies, but he didn't know that it was this bad. Kimura then thinks back to when he was fighting the Kyoushou students who were picking on Asuka, reflecting that he's just as bad as Varne is making out to be.
Reckless fighting outside of academies…and destroying public spaces…
It was completely justified in the moment, but he didn't think about the consequences later down the line. Someone has to clean up their mess and maybe even the shops nearby will be affected by irrational fighting committed by espers.
"I…I see…" Kimura obliged.
"I'm glad we're able to start seeing things eye to eye." Varne sighs of relief.
"Not really…but I see your point…" Kimura tells him.
"Close enough…Just tell me what happened and I'll let you go." Varne asks.
Kimura then repeats his statement once more to Varne, Kimura worked effortlessly with Varne as he knew if he just told the truth he'll be gone from this place of misery. Afterwards, Varne left first with the documentation as 10 minutes later another officer had come to let Kimura out. Kimura's hands were freed from the cuffs as he rubbed his wrist.
