Keres stood alone in the basement, pausing to gather his thoughts. He could unconsciously hear the people's footsteps running quickly down to the basement.
It seemed that they had already noticed Helena missing.
He quickly hid the powder that Ethan gave him somewhere in Helena's body.
The hidden emergency control system in the basement also indicated that the barrier was already chipping away rapidly due to the increasing number of Insectoids outside.
But that wasn't Keres's problem.
Because all he could think about was—
Impossible. There's no way.
Keres shook her head, amused in spite of herself, and turned back to the weapons.
Then he paused again and frowned.
Was Ethan—
Keres replayed the few times that he talked with Ethan. How indifferent he was to human life. The way he seemingly wanted to end the human race for an unknown reason.
No. No way, right?
That Ethan.
The light went out behind his eyes in certain triggers.
Oh.
Oh.
Keres began to laugh.
