Hiro sat staring at the blank pages of the notebook. He had developed a habit of writing after the incident.
This time as well, he had opened the notebook to write something. However, unlike the other times, he couldn't bring himself to write.

His hands moved as he traced something on the paper.
"I will be back."
He looked at it for a long moment, the words small and plain against the white paper. Then he closed the cover and reached out for the System.

[Ding!]
His eyes narrowed as the next lines unfolded behind them.
[Quest: Return to the Pitch.]
