One of the men answered without looking at me. "W-we've only managed to make one type of poison for the demons…."

"Did you guys also make the antidote?" I cut his words.

Those people fell silent again, and I started to lose my temper. "Answer me!!!"

"W-we never thought of making an antidote out of that poison." This time, the woman answered, though she did so by crying. "And sorry, we did make the poison with the mindset that it couldn't be cured."

I rubbed my face. My hands clenched tightly, and my desire to finish those three was overwhelming.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry…." The woman continued to cry, and her two male colleagues couldn't hold back their tears too. "We are only carrying out orders from the state."

Xenora came up to me, touched my shoulder, and hugged me from the side. She pressed her forehead to my upper arm then I could feel her tears on my skin.
