PROTOGEN ( NEW CIVILIZATION)

Part 16--after the rain comes the sun--

Time: 00:30 after midnight
Location: Hospital

When Robin heard who really wanted to kidnap Amar, it was Nordan who was behind everything. Robin discovered the location of the last hostile base and immediately asked General Daniel to launch an attack on the enemy, who was dangerously close to success. General Daniel agreed, saying they would follow Robin's plan just this once, until this entire situation was resolved.

Robin got the permission he needed to return to the military base and begin preparations for the attack, which was scheduled to happen at sunrise.

Meanwhile, in Amar's hospital room, after lying unconscious for so long, he finally stirred awake—confused and disoriented, with no memory of how he ended up here.

Amar's POV

I slowly opened my eyes after everything I had been through. As my vision cleared, I realized I was somewhere unfamiliar again, but this time the room was filled with medical equipment. Pain radiated through my entire body, and I groaned as I tried to sit up. A tight bandage was wrapped around my waist, pressing on a wound I barely remembered getting.

When I finally lifted my head, I saw General Daniel sitting in a chair beside the bed, arms crossed and wearing an expression that was both angry and worried.

Amar: "General Daniel? What are you doing here? And... where am I?"

General Daniel: "Oh, you're awake. Don't move too much, kid, or you'll open that wound again. You're in the hospital."

I glanced around the room nervously, feeling a strange emptiness in my chest.

Amar: "Where is Robin?"

General Daniel: "He was here about half an hour ago. Poor guy was a mess, thought you were gonna die for sure."

Amar: "Where is Robin now?"

The general hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck.

General Daniel: "Look, if I tell you, you need to promise you won't freak out."

Amar: "I promise."

General Daniel: "He's back at the military base. He's preparing for a mission that will take place at sunrise."

My heart sank.

Amar: "What mission?"

General Daniel: "Robin and my army are launching an attack on the enemy tonight."

Amar: "No... What if he gets killed?"

General Daniel: "Then..."

Amar: "Don't finish that sentence. Please."

General Daniel: "Okay, okay."

I clenched my fists in frustration.

Amar: "This is all my fault."

General Daniel: "What do you mean?"

Amar: "People are going to die because of this. And if we're not careful, it could even start a new war."

General Daniel: "No, kid. It's not your fault. Nordan is the one to blame—he's the one who started all of this."

I sat in silence for a moment, trying to gather my thoughts.

Amar: "What time is it, Daniel?"

General Daniel: "Half past two in the morning."
