"Oh, was I too forward?"
She let go of her professional demeanor and relaxed, smiling bitterly.
"Our city is always in need of strong awakeners. This is why we welcome wanderers like you two.
"Of course, you need to tell us your traits if you want to enter the city."
Kane relaxed visibly after she spoke normally.
He looked at Neo and nodded.
Neo returned his nod before turning to the woman.
"We want to enter the city."
"Then follow me. We'll register your identities before you enter the city."
The city wall was dozens of meters thick.
The woman, Calista, took them to a room that was built inside the wall.
"Please tell me your name, age, and trait."
Her eyes glowed when she posed the question.
"Kane Millens, 43 years old. I'm not an awakener. I was rescued by Neo while he was on his way to Azrew."
"Neo Hargraves, 17 years old, my trait is: Death."
