"We can't stop the research just because of the potential dangers," Lucas suddenly spoke, his voice deep yet firm. "These technologies can help more people and change more lives."
Allison turned to face Lucas, a flicker of doubt swelling within her. She began to question whether Lucas truly understood the complexities and potential hazards of fiber technology. Perhaps their goals were not aligned.
"Lucas, these technologies have already been used by the management bureau to control and manipulate innocent people. Don't you think that's wrong?" Allison raised her voice slightly, her eyes glinting with unease.
"I'm not saying we should blindly support the practices of the management bureau, but we need to fundamentally change all of this," Lucas replied, his resolve unshaken.
As their research progressed, Allison started to notice that Lucas's past seemed to hold some unknown secrets. He had mentioned his experiences in a werewolf clan but always avoided discussing more details. Now, her curiosity was piqued.
"You've never told me your true identity in the werewolf clan. Were you really just an ordinary werewolf?" Allison challenged him.
Lucas's expression shifted slightly, his gaze wavering and her words struck a nerve. "That's my past, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Unwilling to relent, Allison pressed on, "But you can't leave me in the dark. I need to understand you. If you have secrets, I have the right to know them too."
Under Allison's insistence, Lucas finally conceded. "I… was once an agent assigned to protect the core secrets of fiber technology. It was my mission, and it has become my burden."
Allison was taken aback by this revelation, a tide of confusion and anxiety washing over her. She stared at Lucas, questioning, "Is your true intent really to protect those you once vowed to resist?"
Lucas's voice grew louder, revealing his emotions: "Allison, I have no intention of betraying you. What I seek is a way out, a chance to rescue the victims."
Allison struggled internally, trying to comprehend Lucas's position while grappling with doubts about his motives. The trust between them hung by a thread.

Allison's gaze was sharp, her voice laced with profound skepticism: "Lucas, what is your true pursuit? Is it the completion of the mission, or is it driven by the instinct of self-preservation?"
Lucas was filled with intense emotion as he vehemently retorted, "Every action I take is to protect us! Yet in your eyes, I see no understanding and cannot find our shared goal."
Allison felt a sharp sting; her anger left her thoughts disordered. She began to doubt whether she could truly trust Lucas, the partner who had once fought by her side but now felt so alien.
Lucas took a deep breath, hesitated, then resolutely turned and exited the lab, leaving behind a suffocating silence. Allison stood alone, her heart swirling with helplessness and confusion.
"Lucas! You can't just leave like this!" she shouted, but her voice was ruthlessly cut off by the closing door of the lab.

Lying in bed, she struggled to sleep, her mind torn between fear of the unknown and worry for Lucas.
She voiced her concerns to Sophia, anxiety lacing her tone: "Will he come back?" Sophia gently patted her shoulder, answering in a calm yet firm voice, "No matter what, you must believe in him." Sophia's words conveyed trust in Lucas, offering Allison some comfort.
Allison tightened her fists, her resolve unwavering. She vowed to uncover all truths and discover the motives behind Lucas's disappearance. She understood that challenges lay ahead, intertwining her faith and fears into a complex web. She knew that only by confronting these challenges could she find answers.
In her heart, she silently repeated, "I will find him and unravel everything." She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she was ready. The mystery remained unsolved, the true purpose of Lucas and the secret of his disappearance still eluded her.
