[Three Months Later]
Lately, Azuma had been wondering about a lot of things. He thought he will found his sense of self if only he grasps the truth of his past. But the small glimpse only left him feeling more confused and empty than ever.
He realized a few things.
Genesis was performing illegal experiments, and the Shadows were most likely the cover they used.

The ban from experiments on minors was lifted long ago, and there have never been any restrictions on doing experiments if they can bring humanity closer to obtaining perfection…
At least those restrictions weren't upon people who lived outside the Cities.
