Alex, who was Lexia's younger brother, fell completely silent and lowered his gaze, unable to look at the livestream that showed his sister's current state.
Megan wondered if there was anything they could do, but Dante seemed hesitant when he explained that their best option was destroying the structure to free Lexia's soul.
However, when he made that comment, he could see Sixteen's umbral aura growing further, but it wasn't hatred or anger—it was pure sadness.
As Dante inspected Sixteen's energy flow a little closer, he gritted his teeth with displeasure and annoyance.
'Sadness, deception, regret…' Dante thought, listing the different emotions he could sense coming from the android.
