'This…'
Rey maintained his carefully composed expression despite the revelation that had sent his mind into calculated overdrive.
Seraph.
The Angel who'd hunted him down in the end.
She was the one who was responsible for his Transmigration into H'Trae.
Not just him.
The entirety of his class was transmigrated because of this Angel!
And Sephyr was her sister.
'Of all the possible complications,' Rey thought with cold assessment, 'being mentored by the sibling of someone I killed is among the most dangerous. One mistake, one slip in my cover identity, and she'll recognize connections that would expose everything.'
But outwardly, he showed only appropriate sympathy.
"I'm sorry for your loss," Rey stated quietly, the words carrying sincerity that wasn't entirely fabricated. "Losing a family to violence is... difficult. I understand that pain personally."
It wasn't a lie.
He'd lost everyone in H'Trae—friends, allies, people who'd mattered despite his emotional distance.
