章 29: Chapter 29 Cell Essence

Thirty minutes after meeting with Nina.

Nina, looking like a mechanic apprentice, finally calmed down... She couldn't possibly have imagined that her 'brother' would be alive.

On the way home, Nina finally mustered the courage to ask something she had been keeping to herself:

"You... aren't 'my brother,' right?"

Actually, Nina had expressed similar sentiments before Han Dong entered the Fate Space.

"How did you figure that out?"

"Valen, my brother, is just 'different' from you. He's lazy and unreliable... Totally unlike what a 'brother should be. He was always unwilling to do anything, just idling his days away at home.

When he was forced to participate in 'Fate Space' and wear that wind-up device, he had already given up on life completely.

On the morning that Fate Space was about to start, he rushed out of the house by himself. I thought he committed suicide early out of fear."

"He did commit suicide... By chance I found him, and that's how things ended up this way."
