The Delta Cider Encyclopedia

The outcome of Agnes’ adulthood revolves around whether the Commander reconnects with Kass before the Iinowaen graduates high school. Therefore, this document mainly holds potential displaced ideas that aren't too far-fetched from what will likely happen in the future.

The primary reason why Agnes wasn’t killed by the Commander once he tested positive as an Irregular was due to his level of smarts and talents. The weapons he made for fun were more enhanced than those of the regular military, and he could build robots and armor. To live, he promised he would go into training to become an agent after high school.

While it was an easy way out as a kid, it meant he would work for the Commander as an adult—the Commander that spent months deciding whether or not to kill him and whose main hobby is executing people.

Therefore, while Hunter and the rest of his crew attend regular college, Agnes will be training in North Command. As time goes on, he eventually gets sent out on missions, though the only people aware of his work are Iris and Solomon, Ethan, and Hunter, since they’re still dating.

Hunter rents an apartment with one of his college roommates, whereas Agnes sleeps where he trains. Though whenever he gets a break, he returns to the apartment he shares with Ethan, for wherever Agnes goes, Ethan usually follows.

Though Agnes is finally putting his skills to good use, he hates the training because he’s separated from his family and friends.

At most, Agnes and Hunter see each other twice a month but sometimes go several months without being face to face. They could video call, but Agnes rarely has the time, though the Iinowaen occasionally uses his portal guns to visit his boyfriend. However, the Commander, his associates, and the rest of the overall government stalks its employees. Though, since most people are brainwashed, they don’t even think about leaving.

The Commander, unaware that they're related, is very interested in Agnes. The Iinowaen is the only person who receives direct training from him, and though the idea of working for the government increases his anxiety, Agnes can’t decline.

The Commander often goes hard on him, though he's still careful not to cause lethal harm. The older man will ask Agnes miscellaneous personal questions to catch him off guard, but Agnes usually dodges them, like lying and saying that his relationship status revolves around a woman he likes.

If anyone on a higher level learned Agnes was involved with man, his lover would be executed in front of his eyes. Though, admitting he has someone waiting for him back at home gives him a slight chance of receiving longer vacations.

However, Agnes can’t legally marry Hunter on Iinowae and, despite being adults, still can’t go on public dates. To start a family, they would have to escape to Xibagantu, or their child’s birth certificate would be lopsided. And if Agnes were absent from work due to Family Leave, his overseers would start sticking their noses in his business.

Other agents in similar situations are often forced to put their children up for adoption or may luck out and receive more lenient assignments.

Therefore, when Agnes finally gets to spend time with Hunter, he cherishes it. They both wish they were still kids due to the free time they had back then, even with their friends. Agnes feels awful about the situation and like he’s abandoning the Xibagantan, who might leave him for someone else due to the strains on their relationship.

As an adult, Agnes feels alone. He doesn’t connect much with the other agents since most of them are slowly becoming brainwashed and don’t have personal thoughts. Like Hunter, Agnes rarely sees his family and is only around Ethan. He’s so busy that he can’t even visit Victor and get a break.

Each day continues to drain him.

Preston and Agnes:

Agnes knows that since the Commander is dying to keep him around and if word got out he was with a man, his lover would get executed instead.

In the first months of training after graduating high school, one of his colleagues, Preston, fell in love with him. The two were roommates on campus and started as friends. Though Agnes, still like a child, didn’t care and brushed him off, especially since he was with Hunter.

Preston often made signals that Agnes recognized as romantic since they resembled Hunter’s flirtatious actions from when they were kids. He ignored them until Preston finally confessed his feelings to Agnes through words. Though, Agnes’ response was simply: “Sorry man, I’ve already got my eyes set on someone else.”

A few days following Preston’s confession, the two were instructed to see the Commander in the middle of the night. They were terrified since most people who met him were immediately executed afterward.

The Commander claimed he heard a rumor that the two had been crushing on each other, even though it was completely one-sided. The boys tried to prove him wrong, and Agnes, who easily gets ticked off, tried to fight their boss, and since Preston joined in, they ended up getting knocked out.

When they awoke, they were seated across from each other, restrained to chairs in a secluded room. Immediately, the boys began to panic, though Agnes freaked out more than Preston because the thought of abandoning Hunter and never seeing him again was his biggest nightmare.

Though, instead of executing them both, the Commander tortured Preston to death in front of Agnes. When the other Iinowaen thought it was his turn, he was released from the chair, still unable to take his eyes off Preston’s bloody corpse.

The Commander told the Iinowaen that “Preston should’ve watched his mouth,” signaling that he spied on his underlings from their dorm rooms too.

Afterward, Agnes was knocked out again, woke back up in his room, and was gifted a new roommate the next day. He didn’t sleep for weeks after watching the execution, and it was ages before he broke the news to Hunter and Ethan. Sure, Agnes didn’t love Preston, but that was the first and only friend he made after all his training and missions.

Escaping to Xibagantu:

Agnes will eventually escape to Xibagantu with Hunter to start a new life, get married, and start a family, leading to the existence of Calista.

The couple goes off the radar and is presumed missing. They dye their hair and temporarily change their appearance to make fake IDs and steal other people’s identities.

The two manage to hack tickets to Xibagantu, and Ethan comes along to help, though he claims to be in no relation to them. The two escape quietly and relatively empty-handed, whereas Ethan is the one to travel with all the necessities. The android takes every dollar Agnes has saved since he was a child, along with several guns and other valuables they would look like to look back at once on Xibagantu.

However, Hunter and Agnes have to leave their families behind. Despite bawling their eyes out, Agnes’ parents want their son to be safe and happy. They would rather him be millions of miles away, happily married to a soulmate, rather than facing oppression and fearing for his life every day he wakes up and goes to work.

Hunter’s family was also upset but wanted the same for him. Haden was upset that he would be away from his brother again, but he knew it would be for the best.

Still, Agnes’ family was hurt more.

Agnes’ parents loved him dearly, and after losing Angel, they became terrified of losing him too. Sure, their son was now an adult, but they were still greatly attached to him. It would’ve been better if Ethan stayed back so they could feel like they still had someone to take care of, but he was needed for the plan.

Even though Agnes was in his early 20s and his parents were in their 50s, he recommended that they try and have another kid or adopt one to forget about him. He said they had done a great job raising him and apologized for bringing so much stress into the family thanks to his love interest, mental health, and hobbies, despite his parents denying them as problems.

Even though it seemed harsh, Agnes didn’t want them to worry about him anymore, and they could finally breathe now that he was leaving. They wouldn’t have to worry about him going on a mission and not coming back or going to see Hunter and seeing his execution show up on the news.

Still, Agnes’ parents refused to adopt a kid or even get a pet. They never wanted to forget him or move on just because he was moving to another planet. He and his parents were sobbing, but they said they’d be able to hold him in their arms again one day. They’d find a way to see him again, even if it took several years. They never wanted to replace him.
