Manny stopped walking and turned to look at Keng. He gave Keng a strange look like this was coming out of nowhere. Keng observed Manny as he shook his head no.
"I would never betray you." Manny replied. There wasn't anything different about his inflections, his body language, nothing. Keng slowly nodded and moved a couple steps forward as the snow crunched beneath his shoes. "W-where's this coming from all of a sudden? A-are you having s-second thoughts about me? About the team?"
Keng didn't answer for awhile. He scanned the horizon around them. The snow landscape grew somewhat hillier and lone sets of winter trees sprawled across the landscape.
'I still don't believe him after he said that…' Keng thought to himself. 'Why would they betray Lee Seng like that? Those runes… They're far too powerful and it couldn't have had come from Number 2, either… What's the Creator's plan here…?'
