Kapitel 694: Chapter 687 - We Can't Be Together

*Author's note:

In this chapter, the script will switch back and forth between two simultaneous settings. I will use this (—) as a marker. Each setting compliment the other in terms of info, and they are only focusing on a single topic. You may read the last paragraph of the previous chapter to improve experience with this chapter. 

Happy reading!
