~Miyuki POV~

I leaned against the wall in the large hall where we had all met so often. But this time there were fewer faces. After Jackal's murder... Miss Raven had also been killed, but there was another body next to her. Someone called Gray Serpent. The word ''REVENGE'' was also written in blood next to Raven. Ahh... That was driving me crazy! I just couldn't figure out who it could have been. But the worst thing was that the poor little Sora had to see everything that had happened to Miss Raven. It had been hours since we had found the two bodies. I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. 

,,Hopefully this will all be over soon....''

After a phone call with miss Adler, my thoughts seemed to be a little more organized. During the conversation we had gone through everything again and had actually more or less found a lead. Many people had lost their lives or those of their loved ones in the cataclysm a few years ago. So the word revenge, which was written in blood several times, would fit. The only question that remained was who wanted revenge. And the conversation led us to Bronya. Nevertheless, she and Joachim had alibis. As strange as it sounded, something paranormal must have had a hand in this case. 

I went to see Dr. Einstein. I was beginning to really need clear answers. As much as I wanted to solve the case, I also had to think about the Hyperion. The longer I was away, the more uncomfortable I felt. ,,Do you think you're ready to tell me, Dr. Einstein? What is this Ω2 that Mr. Joyce had been tracing these years?'' I leaned forward, while the blue-haired lady on the other side of the table is impassively staring at me in the eye. Moments later, she let out a deep sigh, as if she just decided to give up something important. ,,You won, Doctor. What I'm about to tell you is the biggest secret of Lab 42 of Schicksal Imperial Institute. I trust you. But please don't put me in certain circumstances that require me to take drastic measures.'' I nodded. ,,I'm confident about my ability to keep secrets. You don't have to worry about that. To be honest, I'm surprised and flattered that you agreed to reveal this secret to me without much hesitation.'' 

For a moment, Dr. Einstein's expression changed to a pained one. ,,So many people died. I had no other choice. And I'd like to know what secrets are hidden behind this incident too.'' ,,In that case.... I'm all ears.'' ,,Do you know that Welt used to be an assistant at Lab 42?'' ,,Of course. Everyone knows.'' ,,But what so you know about his past before he joined Lab 42?'' ,,Eh...'' Now that she mentioned it, I just realised that there is no intel about Welt Joyce's past. ,,It's because of the institute's strict intel control measures. Welt used to be the institute's top secret sample before he was transferred to Lab 42.'' I blinked. ,,Sample?'' ,,Yes. Sample for an experiment. Codename: Ω1.'' ,,Ω1...'' ,,You don't need to know his real identity. I can't reveal it anyway. But I can tell you the Ω2 Welt had been tracing... were the only two copies of Ω1 that the institute had successfully made back when Welt served as the sample.'' ,,The only two copies? Wait a sec... Does that mean... Joffrey?''
