Thales gazed at the emotionally unstable man before his eyes. Quick Rope's chest was heaving. Thales did not speak for a long time.
"You care a lot about them…"
Thales' gaze did not move. "Your father and elder brother."
Quick Rope froze for a moment.
His gaze dimmed.
"Do you have family members, Thales?"
Thales pursed his lips.
'Family members.'
A feeling he could not put into words surged through his mind.
'According to those memory fragments, I probably do.
'But here…'
Quick Rope arched an eyebrow as he remembered something.
"Sorry, I forgot." Quick Rope waved his hand under the dim light and flashed an apologetic smile. "Of course, that's what made you the only heir. You have a delicate status and you're forced to be the center of attention of all parties."
Thales nodded without a word.
"But I do."
