"Evolve?" Alex asked with a stunned look on his face. "But… that's so dangerous. Even more so now."
"I'm afraid so," the older Alex said. "But that is the only way the senior told me about it. Maybe there are other ways, but I do not know of them yet."
Alex gave a thoughtful look. "I'll ask the senior when I see him. You guys don't need to worry about it. I alone will bear that burden," he said.
The room got a little quiet after he said that. Emily put the food on the table and sighed. "Alright, enough brooding. You can think about everything later, but for now, you need to eat," she said.
Alex shook his head and got rid of any foreign thoughts. "What did you cook?" he asked as he looked around. "I haven't eaten anything in years, so this all looks appetizing."
The couple looked at each other with weird looks on their face and back to Alex. "You don't eat that often, do you?" he asked.
