░46░ Lucius' Plan for Iris

"So have you finally gone back to your senses, Lucius?" Grindel asked while sitting beside Lucius' bed looking seriously at the man who had gone back from looking at the nostalgic scenery outside - without even blinking his eyes through the bright light

As curious and pitiful Grindel felt towards Lucius, he still can't read his mind up until now. He can only observe the actions that he's making to know what he truly feels but as of the moment - he can't feel anything from him at all. He felt like he was speaking from a mirror of his old self. He felt like Lucius was reflecting his younger self where he was once lost in life

They stayed silent for a long while until Grindel was the one who couldn't take the silence anymore. Right there and then, he forcefully grabbed Lucius' shoulders and let Lucius face him with seriousness in his eyes having a tiny bit of sadness
