Chapter 45 - I Guess I'm Somewhat of a Detective Myself
Returning to his room, Carn canceled his transformation, reverting to his human form. Exhausted, he sank onto his bed, yawning.
Just as he was about to call it a day, loud banging erupted from his door, accompanied by Han's panicked shouting.
"CARN! ARE YOU OKAY?!"
Groaning, Carn dragged his feet to the door, mentally drained. Opening it, he found Han and Wong standing there with flashlights in their hands. Oddly, Han's entire body emitted a faint red glow, giving him an otherworldly appearance.
Carn raised an eyebrow, bemused. He couldn't sense any Aether from his father, yet the radiance bore a resemblance to holy power in a different form.
Intrigued, he asked, "Dad, do you, by chance, have a superpower?"
Han scoffed, "Obviously, I'm augmented. I have a nano spinal cord and bone marrow. Anyway, are you alright?"
