14: truth about the real Wolff Bane
I gathered enough strength to stand up and leave the study immediately. Pakiramdam ko ay tuluyan na akong masisiraan ng bait kapag nanatili ako roon at pilit na iisipin kung ano ba talaga ang gustong mangyari ni Wolff.
Wolff was still sleeping when I went back to his room. His face showed he was suffering from whatever was afflicting him. Kapag titingnan siya sa ganoon ay hindi mo iisiping may mga bagay siyang ginagawa na hindi labis maisip ng kung sinuman kung ano ang kanyang motibo.
I went to the kitchen and Sage was already preparing the food on a tray. Bahagya niya akong sinulyapan at marahil ay napansin niya ang biglaang pagod na naramdaman ko dahil sa natuklasan.
"A-are you okay, Dani?" nag-aalalang tanong niya.
I took the liberty to open Wolff's fridge at naglabas ng bottled water. My grip on it tightened when I realized it was the same brand of water I had at Odin's office. Yes, it's the distiller owned by the Glass and having them around every household is normal but it still stirs the anger in me.
"D-dani?"
Huminga ako nang malalim bago sumagot. "Sorry, I'm just tired."
"C-coming with m-me is a bad idea, isn't it?" nakayukong sabi niya. "F-from the looks of it, you looke e-exhausted after delivering the files to Cielo Rosa and now..."
The job itself is tiring, but the things I discovered along the way are making me too exhausted. Gayunpaman, ayaw kong isipin ni Sage na dahil sa trabaho ang dahilan niyon.
"No, it's okay," bawi ko. I don't want him to feel burdened about me. "Can I ask a question?"
He blinked at me. "S-sure."
I hope he doesn't feel offended by this. "What kind of person is Wolff?"
He looked surprised. "W-what do you m-mean?"
"You know him, right? Anong klaseng tao siya?"
Sage hesitated a bit.
"If asking about it is too much, you don't need to answer that," mabilis na bawi ko. "I was just curious, that's it."
Sage looked down. "D-do you want to know the t-truth about the real Wolff Bane?"
Do I?
Sure, I'm curious but will I be able to handle it? But hey, I've come this far in having crumbs of what is exactly going on, why not sprinkle these crumbs with truth from someone who knew him personally?
Desididong tumango ako kay Sage.
"W-wolff is a lonely man," he said with a sigh. "The problem with people who have everything is they f-feel a v-void inside them. His intelligence is astounding; he can e-easily obtain wealth and p-power, but then these just p-provide more c-complications to human life. In W-wolff's case, he's searching for s-something... something that may s-seem impossible, but he has t-to try and use all p-possible resources he can to j-just fill that void in him."
