Faced with her probing gaze, Elias slowly began, "I was injured in the Blackwater Town cult case, so I had to recuperate abroad…"
This was the official story, as the game's second playthrough had scripted for him.
But Olivia seemed uninterested in these explanations, her pale blue eyes fixed unwaveringly on him.
"But why didn't you take me with you on your last mission?"
"It was too dangerous," Elias responded.
"Dangerous?"
Olivia suddenly sat up from Elias's embrace, her previously smiling face turning expressionless.
"So it was too dangerous for me, but you took other women? Were they more capable than me?"
"Uh…" Elias stumbled, "It's not like that…"
"It is like that," Olivia's gaze grew colder. "Especially that eerie woman. Ever since you met her, your attention has always been on her."
"The mysterious items from your investigations were given to her first, not me."
