"Because… I was in his dreams, and his dreams often end with me dying."
Silence fell between them until Slater clapped happily.
"Very well! That means I'm wrong," he laughed. "That's better!"
Lola furrowed her brows. "Why are you so happy?"
"Sis, what do you mean, why am I so happy?" Slater scrunched up his nose. "First Brother is more horrible in our previous life than now."
"Atlas is not horrible at all."
"Considering Penny was locked up because of him — and that she got executed — I don't want him to remember," he spelled it out, reminding Lola why Atlas was even the head of the Order in the first place.
"If him not remembering but still knowing he failed to protect our family is already like this; what more if he remembers everything?"
"Right." Lola nodded slowly. "The reason Atlas took over the Order instead of Zoren is that he was planning his own murder to atone for his so-called sins."
