Dabao sat in his room, the dim light casting shadows across his face as he stitched his wounds, his mind consumed by thoughts of the battle with Octo.
Dabao: Thank goodness for Commissioner Lin's assistance, but Octo's just the beginning. There are more Meta humans out there, not to mention Titans and Predators.
Finishing the last stitch, he let out a heavy sigh, feeling the weight of his responsibilities.
Dabao: I need to train harder, understand my powers better. There's so much more to learn.
Dabao stepped out of his room and noticed Su Han nearby. Making his way toward her, he greeted her with a calm demeanor.
Dabao: So, have you made a decision about my offer? I'm prepared to train your cousin Diego to help him harness his abilities.
Su Han: Lou, I've decided. I don't want my cousin to be isolated from the world.
Dabao nodded in understanding, acknowledging Su Han's choice.
Dabao: Very well, Su Han. I'll need to visit your brother to assess his abilities.
As he turned to leave, Dabao assured Su Han that he would be in touch once he had addressed his other responsibilities.
Dabao: Once I've taken care of other matters, I'll reach out to you.
But just as he was about to depart, Su Han hesitated, her expression betraying a question she wanted to ask. Sensing her hesitation, Dabao anticipated her inquiry.
Dabao: Don't ask me anything unnecessary.
Su Han, pausing briefly, posed a simple question.
Su Han: Your limbs, they're cybernetic, aren't they?
Caught off guard by Su Han's astuteness, Dabao briefly hesitated before deciding to confront the question head-on.
Dabao: If you've figured out that much, then you probably know the rest.
Su Han, with a knowing look, identified him.
Su Han: You're Raven, the silent guardian.
Dabao, taken aback by her directness, hesitated before responding firmly.
Dabao: That's right. But don't get too involved in my life. I have my reasons for keeping a distance, and my mission here at the university takes precedence. Once I've dealt with your cousin, I'd prefer not to be bothered further.
With that, Dabao left Su Han, leaving her to contemplate the revelations she had uncovered.As Su Han watched Dabao leave, a whirlwind of emotions swept over her. Dropping to her knees, she couldn't hold back the flood of tears that cascaded down her cheeks. The revelation of Dabao's true identity shook her to the core, and she felt a profound sense of loss for the person she once knew.
Su Han: Dabao, you were the nicest guy I ever knew... But now, what have you become?
Gripped by a mixture of grief and confusion, Su Han couldn't help but blame herself for the turn of events. If only she had tried to reach out to him earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have unfolded this way. Regret consumed her as she replayed in her mind the missed opportunities to connect with Dabao, to truly understand the turmoil he must have been facing.
Su Han: I'm sorry, Dabao... Maybe I'm at fault for how your fate turned out.
Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of her emotions, Su Han remained on her knees, grappling with the harsh reality of the situation. The once-familiar figure of Dabao now seemed like a stranger, shrouded in mystery and secrecy. But amidst the turmoil, a glimmer of hope flickered within Su Han's heart, a longing for reconciliation and understanding in the face of uncertainty.
