"Kinsey? Kinsey?! Are you there?"
Kinsey's reveries instantly shattered when he heard Katie's voice on his phone speaker.
"Hm. I'm still here. It's late. You better sleep."
Through Merah's vision, Kinsey could see that the disappointed expression at Katie made his feelings of guilt even more immense.
"Very well. Good night."
"Good night."
Kinsey decided to lie down with his eyes closed. He didn't even respond when Merah scolded him for making Katie sad.
Merah keeps nagging for hours because it seems that Merah didn't hear the voice that Kinsey heard.
Kinsey recalled having experienced this before. At that time, the voice asked if he wanted the red king's power.
Does Kinsey want it? Maybe yes. If it was him who hadn't found his younger sister before, or who hadn't cleared up the internal politics of Paxton in the past, maybe he would have wanted to.
