Lilith's warning left Simon confused.
However, the cold expression on his face did not change. His sky-blue eyes remained fixed on the Biggest Kev, and the dangerous silence inside the room continued as though no voice had spoken from within his heart.
[What do you mean by a fate worse than death?]
Lilith did not answer immediately.
When her voice finally came, it was colder than before.
[There are endings that make death look merciful, and trying to uncover the secrets of the Chaos Wraps is a gate to one of them.]
[What exactly would happen to him?]
[Do not let him try, and you will never need to find out.]
Her presence withdrew slightly after those words, making it clear that she did not intend to explain further.
Simon became suspicious.
A part of him wondered whether Lilith's warning came entirely from concern for Kev's life. The Chaos Wraps had belonged to her father, and there were still many things about them that even Simon did not understand.
