The notes Karin gave me consist almost entirely of observation reports on other test subjects.Her journalist's instincts made her distrust this research project from the start. She had already noticed something was off about it.This is...!A worn, creased photo slips out from between the notebook pages. Its edges reveal the countless times it's been handled.In the photo, Karin is holding a little girl who's no more than three years old. Both of them are smiling at the camera.Is that her daughter?I quickly understand why she wants to live despite her doubts about this project.
"When did you get back?"The breaking dawn appears outside the window as the sky grows brighter. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but I think I see those black ice crystals on his arm again.But when I move closer to check, it seems I'm imagining things.Zayne watches me without saying a word.I realize that I only came over last night to help feed Shiqi. But I got so caught up in analyzing the clues that I accidentally fell asleep on the couch "Sorry, I went a little overboard when I made myself at home."
A moment passes, and a faint smile tugs at the corner of his lips. "Is there a passcode in this house that you don't know?"
I clear my throat and hand him the notebook. I try to prevent us from getting sidetracked. "In any case, I believe Karin is our best lead right now."Recently, EVER has made a public announcement about their best test subject who will make an appearance at the press conference.Unlike those big spenders and socialites, Karin has a positive, approachable image. She also has a good reputation in the eyes of the general public.They're trying to use her to build public support and convince more people to believe in their cause. "By giving me these notes, she probably hopes I'll help her stop the press conference. Or even put an end to the project altogether.
So l thought—" For a while, l've been talking to myself. And then, he hugs me from behind. "Z-Zayne...?"
"Yes, I'm listening."
His embrace is gentle as if the slightest touch might shatter something fragile.
"Did something happen?"
"It's cold."
To think someone who's like snow could feel chilly... I pause before turning around to embrace him.
"I'll stop talking about EVER."
"
But if you're really tired, please... please make sure you rest properly. Will you do that for me?"
