As they walked towards the House affiliates, Layla and Lucius kept talking about the various events and changes that had been happening all around the world.
"So you were one of the people that started this age of freedom?" asked Layla in disbelief.
"Well, that's a bit of a stretch. At first, I thought I was the one who started it but there's a chance I was just a chess piece on a larger board."
"Does that not annoy or scare you?"
"Not really. I'll eventually get my revenge and I have full trust in my future self. If my future self lets me be manipulated or controlled by anything then there's a reason for it."
"How do you know your future self exists? For all, you know you could die right now.."
"Absolute confidence and trust in myself. It's a bit arrogant and irrational but I have the belief I'll reach my goals no matter what."
"Goals…what are your goals?"
"You said you were going to accompany me from now on right? Stay around and find out."
