'Uhh…'
"Mias… Are you alive?"
The Reaper of Knowledge clutched at his head with one hand. The other curled into a thumbs-up.
Vale continued:
"Can you explain… what the hell just happened to you? And what do you mean by 'Greed is coming'?"
Thankfully, his odd state seemed only temporary. After shaking his head a few times, Mias managed to claw his way to a sitting position, then said:
"Ophelia… she woke up a few minutes ago."
Vale's eyes went wide.
'Huh?!'
Mias rubbed his head, which was exuding smoke.
"Greed was close to us, so we had to run. But in our escape, I lost connection with my other half."
Vale's face grew almost as pale as Mias's.
'Shit… she found me, didn't she?'
Mias continued:
"My other half wasn't killed. I can sense it's still alive at the very least. But something odd happened to it. I don't think Greed is the one to blame."
Vale quietly asked:
"But, is Greed coming here?"
