Just a single question

The dragon hunter's words lingered in my ears. And even without turning my head around, I could tell that I wasn't the only one paying the utmost attention to them. 

'Maybe I should've conducted this… interview in a place somewhat more private,' I thought, realizing my mistake a bit too late. 

But how could I know that what this man would speak about would directly relate to the things that I already had some clues that touched upon the greatest secrets related to this world? 

'One of those who returned,' I thought, gritting my teeth when the cogs in my mind twitched and started to run smoothly. 

This name simply clicked with who I really was, assuming that my idea behind this world being just a post-apocalyptic version of the extremely far future of the world I always belonged to.
