Angor and Sunders left Sleepless City together on Angor's Gondola.
Angor glanced back at the dark dome that covered the outer city. "Professor? But we only saved about half of them…"
He meant to ask why they left so soon while leaving so many possessed behind, but he wasn't sure whether this was a proper question.
"Those are apprentices from organizations that did not join our agreement. Saving them does not grant us any profit."
Sunders' reply was quite expected. Before entering the Purification Garden, Angor once asked Nausica about the situation in Midnight Sovereign. Her answer was, Midnight Sovereign had returned to being the "relatively peaceful city" where citizens enjoyed their lives.
Angor knew what she meant, that after he went missing, Sunders removed all parasites from the common citizens.
But Sunders would not help the remaining apprentices in this case, which confused Angor.
