Meanwhile, the library seemed to have fallen into eternal silence.
The sun and darkness had vanished, leaving nothing on the other side of the crack—only a void.
Ethan gazed at the void drawing ever closer.
"Is this part of the plan?"
A question came from behind, posed by a green-haired girl whose cheeks were flushed, seemingly still immersed in the lingering thrill.
"Not entirely."
Ethan shook his head; from the moment the error code appeared, the trajectory of events had spiraled out of his control.
He felt this represented a breakdown in negotiation, with things developing in the worst possible direction as anticipated.
Sincaro's obsession had surpassed his imagination, presenting demands he couldn't accept.
Thus, he had no choice but to resort to this last-ditch effort.
"I warned you."
The green-haired girl said, "This is the edge of the world, and I don't know where it might lead."
"Don't worry."
Before the words faded, Ethan felt someone gripping his wrist.
