Capítulo 103: Orders

Seph didn't react, instead just staring up at the man's face. It wasn't his eyes that she focused on- it was the mask. It wasn't something she was unfamiliar with seeing.

"A- alright."

The man turned and began walking toward a nearby alley, Seph following behind. When she started to approach him, though, her uncle spoke once more.

"Stay back!"

Startled by his words, Seph trailed back a few meters. 

'It's still like this…'

A few minutes later, the two of them stopped in a deserted alley. The entire time they walked, Seph's uncle made sure to keep a few meters of distance between them, as well as wearing a mask the entire time.

"Sephiroth, I've received two orders for you."

The girl's head drooped hearing his words. Just when everything was going well, this had to come up. Given her position as a healer, though, there was still hope that whatever she was to do wouldn't interfere with her daily life.
