He clasped his hands so tightly and for so long that they had turned as white as paper. Yet Dr. Jin had remained in the same position for hours. Was his obsessive compulsion acting up again before the decisive battle with the Demons?
No. He was simply praying. Going to the battlefield was too difficult a task for his faint heart. In truth, there was nothing more he could do to help.
Having provided all the equipment, all that was left for him was to sit alone in his research lab and pray for the Hunters' victory.
Bzzz.
A familiar sound of wings reached Dr. Jin, who was deep in prayer. To his surprise, a few Bees had come to find Dr. Jin, carrying a small note.
“This is…!”
Dr. Jin instinctively felt that these were not Cheon Hae-seon's or Kang Jeong-hyeon's Bees. He hurriedly unfolded the note placed on his desk. Soon, his eyes widened in shock.
Dr. Jin's hands trembled as he read the note.
“Kiril…”
Dr. Jin breathed her name with a sigh. A couple of large teardrops fell onto the note. At the end of the note, there was a lipstick mark she had left.
It was a farewell truly befitting her. His face stained with tears, Dr. Jin read Kiril's letter again and again.
“…You went through a lot.”
For a long time, even after his tears had completely dried. Dr. Jin endlessly caressed the lipstick mark with his finger.
“I understand now.”
Quisque did not answer.
