"Ailetta! Don't listen to her!"
Jasmine couldn't remain silent after hearing the monster's words.
"It's not like that at all! We're not here to hurt you! Please, come back to us! We can protect you! We can find a way to make you human again!"
She continued calling out to her friend, hoping that the human consciousness trapped within the creature could still hear her.
But despite how much the others wanted to help, no one joined her.
Alicia was barely conscious, while Ishii had exhausted himself to such an extent that he could hardly remain standing.
And then there was Paul.
He wanted to say something. After everything he'd witnessed, how could he possibly remain silent when there was a chance that the Ailetta he'd once known could still be saved?
Unfortunately, his circumstances were different from Jasmine's.
His life belonged to Noah, and regardless of what Ailetta was, Noah still considered her the same person he'd always known.
