An Intolerable Condition, Aspaira's Answer

With a straight face and clear eyes, Kieran looked at Dr. Riley and uttered a phrase that made her mind go blank. "When I leave this place, I'd like for you to come with me. I would like you by my side."

Kieran crossed his arms and scoffed. "Agreement? Ignore that agreement. Whereas you merely work for this place, what I acquire will be yours. I'll ensure that you're free to venture into any research you please. It may take time… but trust me when I say I'll obtain the relationships that you require."
