Zero had no other option but to accompany Professor Mia, who wanted to intervene in the conflict between Hiro and William.
He knew he would be meeting the main characters, which made him feel a bit awkward. However, he didn't think it was a problem and believed that his relationship with them wasn't so close that he needed to explain his disappearances.
It was similar to running into a middle school classmate in college or at the workplace.
Zero speculated that there was a high chance they might not even remember him, except for Misha.
( Well, maybe Sylvia would remember me too, since we used to talk quite often. Or at least I hope so. )
Zero thought.
In any case, the tension between the two sides was escalating.
"Excuse me, please!"
Professor Mia said, and the people made way for us as we walked through the gathering crowd. It seemed that people naturally followed Professor Mia's command.
