boy in the shadows (English)

After the explosion, Espia and Aria managed to escape the ruined building. They were covered in dust and debris, but they had come out unharmed.

"Are you okay?" Aria asked, worried for Espia.

Espia nodded. "Yes, I'm fine," she said. "But we need to get out of here. The police and emergency services will arrive soon."

Aria nodded and they both walked away from the scene of the incident. They walked in silence for a while, processing what had happened.

Finally, Espia broke the silence. "Aria, I've been thinking," she said.

"About what?" Aria asked.

"About my goal," Espia replied. "After discovering the existence of the Consortium, I realized that I need to put together my own organization to protect myself and achieve my personal goals."

Aria looked at him in surprise. "An organization just for you?" he asked.

Espia smiled with a selfish look. "Yes, exactly," she said. "I can't rely on anyone else to achieve my goals. I need an organization that is under my complete control, where I can make decisions without having to consider anyone else."

Aria felt uncomfortable with Espia's response. "But what about the others?" she asked. "Don't you mind helping those who need your help?"

Espia shrugged. "It's not my problem," she said. "My goal is to achieve power and wealth, not to help others. If anyone wants to join me, they will have to prove their worth and loyalty."

Aria realized that Espia had changed a lot since she had known him. His ambition and selfishness had grown greatly, and he now seemed willing to do anything to achieve his personal goals.

"I understand," Aria said finally. "But are you sure this is the right thing to do? Aren't you worried about losing friends and allies because of your behavior?

Espia laughed disdainfully. "Friends and allies are just tools to achieve my goals," she said. "If you can't keep up with me, then you're not worthy of being by my side."

And so began the plan to create a new organization led by Spy, but this time with a completely different purpose. The goal was to accumulate power, wealth, and control, not caring who or what stands in the way. The quest for power had begun, and nothing could stop Spy in her selfish pursuit.
