Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Burying alive

Axel's question caught Yohan off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned. But then again, Axel had always been one of those enigmatic figures that were impossible to read even in his past life.

To Yohan, Axel was an unpredictable character with mood swings that often changed more than Kane's. Sometimes he could be friendly and fun, while other times he would become sarcastic and distant - ignoring Yohan when he tried to engage him in conversation. In comparison, Tao may have been annoyingly childish at times but at least he was predictable in his bluntness.

Yohan could sense that Axel was eagerly awaiting his response, his eyes boring into Yohan's as if he were trying to decipher every thought racing through his mind. Meanwhile, his fingers idly traced the intricate patterns etched onto an antique bracelet on his wrist - a piece of jewelry that Yohan had overheard being discussed in their group conversation.
