Departure

The walls were pale, and the silence was palpable in the air. In his patient's garb, Elder Qin was deposited on the sickbed. Gu Jun had come to say goodbye before departing on his next mission. After the proposal was made the night before, Phecda had agreed to it after some internal discussion. A team of five, including Gu Jun, would head toward Wrangel Island to join up with the rest. Their plane would be leaving that afternoon.

"Ah Jun…" Elder Qin breathed out his name. This time, he managed to recognize Gu Jun. After the lobotomy, he seemed to be taken over by dullness and emptiness. His memory had greatly deteriorated and he would be found staring at nothingness most of the time. He also showcased many symptoms of MSA. Compared to the weeks right after the surgery, his eyes had gotten brighter, but it did nothing to take away the blankness around his general feature.
