Han Yoo-jung pondered for a while.

It was clear to anyone, even a fool, that Dice's entire focus was on Luna.

He had murmured the name 'Luna' during their fight yesterday, and now, he was asking about her again.

Perhaps, the very reason Dice, who had hidden himself for so long, had revealed himself was because of Luna.

Since Luna was a member of the Villain Alliance.

Han Yoo-jung quietly observed Dice.

His eyes, ablaze and yet struggling with sorrow, stirred something within her.

For reasons unknown to her, absurdly, she felt jealous.

It was a look in his eyes she had never seen before the regression.

Eyes that always looked dead, always looking elsewhere.

She had tried so hard to catch his gaze.

So earnestly wished to become closer to him.

And yet, despite how often they saw each other,

He asked about Luna.

She was someone he couldn't even remember.

"Aren't you going to answer?"

Dice threatened.

Han Yoo-jung swallowed hard, overcoming the pressure from him.

Simply answering would not bring her any closer to him.

She had to do something.

"I'll answer... but in exchange."

At the word 'but in exchange,' Dice's eyebrows twitched.

Han Yoo-jung turned her gaze away, not wanting to face his intimidation any longer.

It was better not to look.

It was a gamble.

A gamble on his hidden kindness.

If he had intended to treat her harshly, he would have done so yesterday when he took down Tryno and the rest.

Her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Let's make it a trade."

"What?"

"I'll give you the answers to the questions you want, and in return, you answer my questions."

Dice put down the bread bag and laughed.

"Do you not know your situation?"

"I do, that's why I'm proposing this."

She said.

"After all, you're going to hand me over to the Association, right? I have nothing to lose."

"..."

"So... since we've both regressed... I have many questions too, please answer mine as well."

"..."

It was a strategy, a strategy to get closer to him.

She wanted to become closer to him.

"And if I refuse?"

Dice asked.

"Then I won't answer either. It's not that hard, is it? To exchange questions?"

"..."

Han Yoo-jung saw the flicker in Dice's eyes.

It was too easy to see that he was desperate.

After a long silence, Dice sighed.
