Days passed, and we are now walking on a huge road. Eva has remained silent since early on.

“Jang HyunWoo!” At the end of the road, I can see Fiora and Lee Hyejin running towards us.

“Thank goodness you’re safe. Who is that person beside you?”

“Do you know that it’s 2019 right now?”

I cut off Fiora’s words and instantly blurt out my response.

“…What? What’s that supposed to…”

Fiora’s voice trembles slightly.

“We were on that island for 5 years. I can’t really explain what happened exactly, or what those bastards did to us!”

I hear the sound of Fiora’s rapier falling to the ground. Perhaps Fiora is having complicated thoughts, as I am.

“Anyway and anyhow, right now it’s our priority to take down Scylla.”

Unlike Fiora, Lee Hyejin is somehow calm about the situation. Did she know about this beforehand? Then, what about the flyer she picked up and showed to me…

“Is the monster a problem now? We’ve been deceived from the beginning. Are you just going to accept this fate, that those bastards are playing us like pawns?”

“Stop it! Do you think I enjoy being here?”

I shouldn’t have probably mentioned the word fate. Perhaps I have made her angry.

“We should protect this city, first and foremost. People are dying here!”

Lee Hyejin points her arrow at me while she talks. Her bowstring seems a bit loose, so I don’t think that she has the intention to shoot.

“Stop!”

Eva screams and runs towards Hyejin, then reaches for her bow. What…? All of a sudden, the bow and arrow break into splinters. What… the heck? Lee Hyejin looks blankly at the blood on her hands. Jackie and Isol come running from the distance after hearing the noise. Damn! Why do things have to be so complicated…

“This is an emergency.” A crushed can comes out nowhere, and a thick smoke emerges from it.

In the midst the smoke, there’s a silhouette of someone with yellow hair and a familiar pair of sunglasses.
