"Yeah, he really is, but I don\'t care if it ends up killing me, which sounds childish, but I\'ve already gotten past the point of no return."

"I know if the roles were reversed and Ty was the one who was killed, he would do nothing to get back to me if there was a possibility."

V stated, "While I\'m not entirely sure what all that means, I will support you regardless."

As Jade activated the Cross and they began to dematerialize, she asked, "What, you\'ve never had anyone you cared about before?"

Jade stated further, "While I\'m not entirely sure he doesn\'t want to kill us, for whatever reason he didn\'t want to do it outright today."

V responded, "That is quite the troublesome person to be involved with, Lady Jade."

"Yeah, he really is, but I don\'t care if it ends up killing me, which sounds childish, but I\'ve already gotten past the point of returning. I know if the roles were reversed and Ty was the one that was killed, he would do nothing to get back to me if there was a possibility," Jade expressed with a mix of determination and resignation.

V stated, "While I\'m not entirely sure what all that means, I will support you regardless."

As they activated the Cross and began to dematerialize, Jade asked, "What, you never had anyone you cared about before?"

Fully rematerializing back in the room, covered in blood, black goo, and just dirt, the same as V, he responded, "No, I can\'t say from the moment I began to breathe I had anyone I particularly cared about."

"No Parents? No Friends?" Jade inquired, seeking to understand more about V\'s past.

V stated, "We are only created to fight and get stronger. I don\'t believe any of us have the desire for much else, though since becoming a cube, I felt powerless and fear for the first time, which was a new feeling, I suppose."

Jade nodded, feeling a slight sadness as they continued their conversation. The butler walked in with the same plate, and Jade placed the Cross back on the silver plate, noticing his odd expression.

As the butler quickly stepped back and walked away, right as the doors were closing, Jade saw him take a deep breath. "Hah, so he was trying to avoid the stink we have," she remarked, realizing the reason behind the butler\'s odd expression and hasty retreat.

Glancing at the clock and seeing it was already mid-morning, Jade sighed, "Well, I suppose I can go grab a shower."

"Come on, V, you need one as well while we\'re at it," she added, gesturing towards V to follow her lead.

V nodded in agreement, and they spent the better part of the morning washing away the remnants of their recent encounter. After a thorough shower, Jade changed into new clothes, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the day.

The rest of the day, however, proved to be uneventful for Jade as she focused on her work in the lab. She delved into researching more about V, aiming to figure out how to restore him to his original form. All the while, she kept the crystal the crow had given her in her pocket, pondering over where to even start with it.

Despite the monotony, the red alarm interrupted the day\'s silence four times. Yet, none of these alarms called for Jade\'s attention, allowing her to remain undistracted in her pursuit of answers within the confines of her lab.

As the clock struck 8 pm, the door to Jade\'s lab slid open, and Rosa walked in, immediately remarking on the equipment and setup, "Wow, they really gave you all the fancy stuff huh?"

Jade, excited to see Rosa, rushed over to her and asked, "How are you doing?"

Rosa, displaying a bit of weariness, replied, "They had me go out on two missions today solo?!" The disbelief in her voice was palpable as she added, "Can you believe that?!"

Sympathizing with her friend\'s plight, Jade shared her own experience, "Yeah, they even made V come with me on my mission that was basically solo."

Rosa\'s eyes widened in shock at Jade\'s revelation, and she exclaimed, "What the fuck is that?!"

Jade, initially puzzled by Rosa\'s reaction, quickly realized the oversight. With a slight gasp, she said, "Wait, I haven\'t shown you V before, have I? Though now that I think about it, things went so fast I haven\'t really talked about him much." She pondered the lack of a formal introduction, "Though I would think the Director would make a statement or something."

Rosa, placing her hands on Jade\'s shoulders with a mix of excitement and curiosity, urged, "Okay, my nerdy scientist! Stop blabbering and tell me what that thing is. How can it be cute and ugly at the same time!" Her hands shook Jade slightly, trying to coax an explanation out of her.

It was then V decided to introduce himself, "Oh, I\'m V, the creature that almost killed you a few days ago. Also, what does it mean to be cute and ugly?"

Rosa\'s eyes began to twitch slightly as she removed her hands from Jade\'s shoulders, bewildered, "How in the what now?!"

Jade, realizing the complexity of the situation, simply stated, "It\'s a long story."

Rosa, intrigued and slightly apprehensive, grabbed a chair and took a seat, signaling her readiness for the story. "Well, go ahead and explain then, \'cause I have nothing but time now. And you," she pointed at V, "stay away from here before you try to hurt her!"

Jade attempted to ease the tension, "Rosa, calm down. He\'s not going to hurt anyone anymore. He\'s on our side, right V?"

V, with a calm demeanor, replied, "Sort of. I\'m on your side since you are the one who freed me. So, if you told me to kill the girl with the big forehead, I would, for example." His expression remained unchanged as he spoke.
