Chapter 255: Nah! Impossible
"Hey, what’s with that guilty attitude?" Alice asked and he raised his head. "It’s not a big deal, and it’s not your fault, so don’t act like I’m blaming you for anything. I just... Got curious."
The half-body in her arms, she did not know who it belonged to. It was dark, his face was ragged and burnt at one side. His lips were shafted as if he had been starved of water for weeks.
He had suffered a big loss even if he had won the battle he fought.
He was brave and at the same time, regretful that he could not prove himself to the one he wanted to prove himself to.
Who was it? Who was that guy and who did he want to prove himself to? A lover?
No, the kind of recognition he needed was not that at all. It felt like he was looking for recognition from his father or something like that.
"Well, it’ll all come into play sometime soon. He looked pretty close to me so maybe I haven’t seen him yet."
"But Alice," Leo placed his hand on her shoulder. "You don’t have memories of your previous life unless you see the person or he does anything that makes you recall. So, that means... He’s here, whoever that is."
Alice went silent. Ah, now that complicated matters. How was she supposed to know who it was?
If they were here then they survived long enough to the end of the second calamity.
But no matter what she did, she wouldn’t be able to recognize him because of that burnt mark on his face and the ragged voice like he had been parched for centuries.
