The Girl Who Died
After Gio's meeting with Fred which was naturally peppered with fights, both physical, and through words, only Gio came out scathed. Fred still looked the same as when he first appeared before them. But strangely, his face did not look too good. It was way darker and gloomier than before, contrasting his lack of wounds or even dirt in his pristine white lab coat.
On the other hand, it was Gio who had a gloating grin on his face.
The two men parted after some time and Fred did not pursue him. Conrad shrugged at the sullen and half-angry, half-depressed system user then drove his nephew away. Only they knew what they talked about, but those who saw their reactions immediately concluded it was Gio's small victory.
Fred who had been left there standing outside of the tall walls of the place kept looking at the direction the car took.
