Chapter 2014: A Significant Question

Kane frowned at Rui's words. "What does your identity issue have to do with impeding Project Water?"

"…I don't know," Rui admitted.

Kane stared at him, confused.

"I don't know what it has to do with Project Water," Rui elaborated. "But I do have strong reasons to think that it has something to do with it."

"…Like what?"

Rui's eyes turned back to Kane. "…One of the things that my grandmother's prophecy before we left Kandria foresaw was the Divine Doctor asking me, 'Who are you?'"

Kane's eyes widened with surprise. "You mean that you knew that all of this was going to happen?"

Rui shook his head impassively. "…I didn't know that this specifically would happen. All I saw and heard in the prophecy was the Divine Doctor asking me that question. I didn't have any other context. More importantly, my grandmother's reaction to it was… strange."
