Silence reigned amongst them.
Darwin had his head down, drowning in self-pity.
Max stood before him, his face filled with disgust and rage, his fist clenched ready to strike.
Laura had a complicated expression while contemplating everything Darwin had revealed thus far.
Cedric wondered just how people would react, especially those that worshipped the legend of Nazarene, once they found out that those same great Alchemists had committed abominations in a bid to reach their goal.
Tara remained mute at the side. Unsure of how to react.
All in all, they each had their thoughts centered on the horrifying truth of Nazarene, yet despite that, they were still aware that the story had yet to be completed.
Thus, albeit reluctantly, Max urged Darwin to complete his tale. "What happened once you began to experiment on… your son. How did Richard become what he is today?"
Darwin put his head up to meet Max's gaze. He could still sense the anger in them.
