Ethan found all of this hard to believe.
But seeing the complex way Nicole looked at him, he knew that this was all real and not some kind of fabrication or illusion made by the Progenitor who had once covered the entire world in ice.
“How did you know it was me?” Ethan asked. “Back then, when I asked you who this Mister Ghost was, you said he was your imaginary friend when you were younger.”
“Of course, I didn’t know that it was you when I first met you in the academy,” Nicole answered. “The old you was naive… and I’m sorry to say this, but you were also quite stupid.”
Ethan nodded because he agreed with her words.
“However, after you returned with Lily from your journey to the past, you changed,” Nicole added. “You became more calm, more mature, and frankly… more like my type?”
A faint smile appeared on Nicole’s face when she first had her suspicions that Mister Ghost and Ethan were the same person.
