Awaken

[Remilia Scarlet]

Over a minute have passed but Remilia was still standing still thinking about what Hideo just told her. It was a tough question. He was standing right in front of her with hands crossed on the chest, patiently waiting for her answer.

Remilia now knew all the story, he told her about everything. 'They' saved her life and she was in debt for that - she wasn't liked to be in debt. Debts must be paid. But the 'means' they used to save her file. She was shocked at first.

Yes, she was, in fact, dead. For a long time already. As well as many of the base's inhabitants. The Nomad Incubi. That 'thing' was inside of her, supporting her life. Or at least that's what she could understand from the Hideo's story. But she didn't felt it's presence nor it's attempts to manipulate her mind. She wasn't a puppet but could be one for sure - so why didn't they just pull this out? The myriads of questions were sparking in her mind but she couldn't get an answer as of yet.

So she decided to simply stop thinking about it. Remilia got used to that trick through her life, harsh and hostile. Simply not caring and moving on - it was the ability that was mandatory for the people of her business. The life on Leeds, the battles fought shoulder to shoulder with the Gaians and her sister, the mercenary work for Corsairs and then against Corsairs. All those changes have led her here, to stand on this cold floor with the man in front of her waiting for the answer.

Remilia sighted. She still have to answer the question.

I heard of you. You're killing humans. Well, this isn't different from what I was doing through my life anyway.

I will accept your offer, Hideo.

He smiled.
