After a few minutes of thought, something suddenly crossed her mind.
"Xavier, you might be right..."
"What?" Xavier was taken aback, his gaze fixed on her as her expression gradually shifted from worry to calmer, as if she had finally remembered something. "You remember what caused you such pain?"
Iris didn't immediately respond. Instead, she took a moment to reflect, attempting to piece together every detail in her mind, particularly those associated with her previous tasks.
"I mean... You're right, and my earlier pain is connected to my past," she said, offering a slight smile before continuing, "Perhaps you haven't noticed. All my assignment targets are somehow connected with my own life."
She continued, "My first target was Professor Alberto West, and my second target had ties to Ruby Winters. So, if you claim that my earlier pain is linked to my memories, I believe you..." Her body seemed to shiver as she imagined something disturbing.
