Silence reigned in the underground city as the conversation between Elena and Alex entered a lull.
After an indefinite amount of time, Alex's lips curled into a smirk as he inquired. "Tell me something though, I want to believe that your real self isn't as naive as you make it out to be. So I'd like to know what exactly spurred your true self to believe that as long as she meets me, her problems would be solved."
"..." Elena didn't immediately respond, her lips trembling for a moment before she finally let out a sigh, her gaze shifting away from Alex as she replied. "Because you are a Mystic of the Human Wheel."
"Oh?" Alex raised a curious brow as he inquired. "What does that have to do with anything?"
Elena pursed her lips as she muttered. "You don't know."
"Huh?"
