章 93: Heartless

"It's safe now, you can come out." Uriel whispered to his shadow and Nika came out of it looking behind her shoulder as if she was being followed. She was still wearing the same revealing camo attire she had during the expedition, she was also covered in dust and small scratches, but she didn't look nearly as bad as she did when she appeared in the hospital room.

"Whew, that was close." Nika let out a sigh. "I also got to recover some Flux, so thanks for letting me stay in your shadow for a bit longer."

"Why did you even hide from Walter... I thought you said you trusted him." Uriel asked, unwilling to spend with her one minute more than what was strictly necessary.

"I trusted Flanagan too and you know what happened. Besides, what that old fuck said was true, Walter isn't running the show anymore and it's not safe for me in the Mapple corporation. Not just that, I won't be able to use my trait with anyone else until I figure out a way to end our contract."
