Kairos stared at Nicole blankly, while she began hesitating. If she just tightened her grip a little more, then his head would end up popping off, then there would be nothing more. However, she couldn't do it while Kairos was staring right at her like that.
After a few seconds, she slowly let Edward go.
The other four were still holding up their weapons threateningly, gripping them so tightly that they trembled slightly. As for Edward, he coughed a little and stumbled backwards, but after that, he stood up normally once more. If it wasn't for the torn skin around his neck and bloodshot eyes, it would've looked like nothing actually happened to him.
Nicole looked at her with a frown. It almost seemed like she was on the verge of bursting into tears.
"Why are you here?"
Edward looked down at the ground.
"I'm not entirely sure myself."
Kairos raised an eyebrow.
"...What the hell are you guys talking about?"
Edward blinked a few times. He responded, but didn't turn to face him.
