Capítulo 198: Just remember to be a bit gentler next time

Ryan had always seen himself as an outsider in Alice's life, knowing that one day he'd have to leave—whether she killed him or he just disappeared if the mission remained incomplete.

That's why he'd always kept his life separate from hers in all their previous interactions.

Mia liked her pranks, but she wasn't scary.

But Alice right now... she was terrifying.
