บท 161: I Never Said

"All of us are going down?" Silvia asked when Kiryuu came back and told them Astra's decision.

"I don't get it, aren't we up here to check if anymore abnormalities would occur," Silvia added after seeing that Kiryuu was speaking the truth.

"There is no need it seems, what she needs from you now is to go down and check the place with your own eyes, I think that it is also the better choice because we have more eyes down there than just relying on what we can see from up here," Kiryuu explained.

"Also..."

Before anyone could ask again, he continued, "She wants you to go down in order to find the answer for that question."

They all went silent, knowing that they haven't found the true answer to it. They came up with many but they all felt that it was lacking.

"I'll be the one to check from up here," Manami then volunteered knowing full well that she can no longer go down.

They looked at her with sadness in their eyes.
