"We should go now," Ewan said after completing the discharge procedure.
"You two go on ahead. I won’t be discharged until tomorrow. Zion should be able to pick me up," Violette motioned me to come near and hugged me. "Get some rest when you get home. Don’t worry too much." I nodded, following Dexter numbly.

"He came to the orphanage to see me three years ago. He knew I was just pretending to be an idiot." Dexter held my hand, leading me into the elevator.

"The wealthy began experimenting with genome editing, using their own sperm, high-quality eggs, and surrogates to create a superior population, ensuring the longevity of their assets and families." There was no denying that money was the root of all evil.
"The concept of genome editing raised ethical questions. While scientists and researchers proposed it and successfully validated it with animal experiments, such inhumane actions were strictly prohibited worldwide."
"As a result, a criminal organization emerged-Genome Society. Operating in secrecy, they conduct experiments on human subjects, whom they refer to as ’experimental subjects".
