Promise made on 365?_3

"..."

Such a familiar name.

Now with his significantly increased thinking speed, Bai E instantly found the always gentle and reserved smiling girl from his memories.

It was her? What a small world...

"I can only pass on a message for him, there's no guarantee it will work..."

"That's good... that's good..." Gilder agreed readily, but there was a hint of hesitation at the end of his tone.

Gilder had looked utterly dejected when he mentioned this privately, as if resigned to death.

Wanting to see his own sister was less about missing her, and more about seeing her one last time...

But Gilder didn't explicitly say this, only pleading him to convey his wishes to the adults, and the death wish... was just his speculation.

After a moment's hesitation, he ultimately chose not to spell it out.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Gilder smiled, though his smile was tinged with weariness.

"If nothing's wrong, you should rest. You've had a hard time managing this mess."
