For screwing up the plan.
That was the answer to the question of why I was here on this sunless sky and relaxing grass. But... it wasn't any answer at the same time.
With his emotionlessness, with the emptiness behind his gray eyes, I felt the need to avert my eyes for no reason. Yet I didn't give in to the feeling, I didn't want to miss a single thing.
I swallowed, tried to release the tension in my body, tried to let myself relax into the comfort of the grass I was lying on, and it worked. So, I asked a question again.
"What plan?"
The person next to me, lying on the grass just like me, sighed slightly. His eyes left me again and turned to the sunless sky.
"Ethan. Do you really still think that your coming into this world was simply a 'reward'?"
