"Brick... Are you there?"
Michael, Anthony, and Gregory walked beside Fein and heard his question. They looked at each other with tacit understanding and remained quiet.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
But there was still no response. Fein sighed deeply but was not disappointed. He just wants to test his luck and see if he would be able to communicate with Brick after he weakened the monster's consciousness.
Unwilling to give up early, he tried and tried, again and again. But no one's responding to his question.
"He might be in a deep slumber or currently recuperating," Fein muttered quietly. "As you see, this monster here was my friend who wasn't in control of his body." He glanced swept his eyes at Gregory, and Anthony, before stopping at Michael. "I don't want to kill my friend since it's partly my fault why he became like this now. If helped him configure the serum earlier, he wouldn't have become like this."
