Above Transcendence

Kieran sent the message out but Rachel hadn't replied since then.

He frowned.

He knew of the relationship between Lawless and Rachel. Both of them were past the friend-zone since they fought back to back in real life and helped each other. Their relationship was more than partners that went through life and death together, with a little mix of subtle love.

However, after leaving the organization and things that followed, Lawless became evasive of Rachel.

Kieran was sure Rachel wouldn't transform her love into hate which was why he was so puzzled by the methods Rachel took.

She knew it would be dangerous yet she kept quiet and didn't tell Lawless about it, in fact, she even purposely evaded the topic.

The image of Rachel was very different from how Kieran perceived of her.

His wait continued.

After almost 30 seconds, Rachel finally replied.

Rachel: Um...

2567: Why?

She went silent once more. It felt like she was finding words to convey the thoughts in her mind.
