"Who was she?"
Xavier asked, causing Zera to halt in her tracks. She wanted to feign being dumb and not know what Xavier was talking about. She wanted to make things go away, and suddenly she just felt too tired to speak bout Avalon.
"Why do you want to know?" Zera asked him back.
Xavier snorted.
"It just suddenly occurred to me, and I want to know. Villains have stories too, right?"
It was Zera's turn to snort. She could avoid answering his query or provide an honest response.
Her honesty prevailed in the end, and Zera had nothing to lose if she told Xavier about Avalon Haze.
"Her name was Avalon Haze, or maybe I should use 'is' in this sentence. She was, after all, still here. But I don't know. She has like dual personality or something."
Xavier nodded as if he understood everything and didn't even dare to question it. Zera pursed her lips while Xavier readily accepted her explanation.
"What happened?"
