"Are you from Gyeonggi province?" I asked one of them but seeing how they were keeping their mouth shut, I decided to switch characters.
No more being a kind and understanding stranger.
Ever since the dimensional cracks began to appear, every province's Esper bureau or branch around Seoul had been scrambling to prove its worth and then expand its reach.
Some wanted independence, others wanted more resources, and the civilians… they were the easiest ones to sway.
And they were also easy prey.
Politics... I always hated politics.
I grabbed him roughly by the collar and glared at him.
"You're going to open your mouth and speak, got that? Are you from Gyeonggi province?" He nodded frantically, and I released him. "Was that so hard to answer? I'll assume you guys are here because of the cracks acting up but what can normal civilians do?"
"W-well, we were t-told to come and testify about the s-strength of t-the Espers in our province." He stuttered and my face twisted.
"Eh?"
