When Akira left the law office, the sky was getting dark. She did not notice the late hour because she was in a bit of an overwhelmed daze. As she walked to her red car, she bumped into a few people hurrying home. She apologised absentmindedly, distracted by what Mr Oda had told her.
She did not know how to respond to the new information about her mother and her twin sister. On the one hand, she was a little happy to know that her adoptive mother had cared for her if just a little. On the other hand, she was too afraid of the implications of the unclear but most likely horrible things that occurred in Antarctica.
She wanted to hide from the truth, but she knew it would do her no good.
It was not a coincidence that Helen Brown was managing a facility in Antarctica for human experimentation, and Hu Lei was imprisoned in the same place and tortured. The two events had to be connected.
