Ritsuka glanced between Keng and Calis. They seemed to act "friendly" towards each other, but he knew Keng didn't really like Calis. For whatever unknown reason, Keng was usually hostile towards Calis. He usually got annoyed whenever Calis was around and actively in discussion with him and whomever else. Ritsuka nodded as he listened to the conversation. He perked up when Keng mentioned Akio.
"Akio? He's helping you? I thought the Numbers were off limits." Ritsuka asked. Keng sighed and shook his head.
"It's complicated." Keng replied. "It was either die trying to hide the truth from an interrogator and her in and out brother or tell them the truth. I think it's better I told them, so they don't get so attached to me with all that's happened."
"Plus, we have strong allies on the higher side of things that can help us." Calis added. Keng nodded as he leaned back into the bed.
