Chapter 182: The Situation
Lizno looked at him with anticipation, his expression earnest.
Vincent subtly nodded, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table as he pondered. Hmm… name, shadow? It sounds so cringe… darkness? Sigh… I'm so useless when it comes to thinking of a name…
Just as he was grumbling internally, a soft, childlike voice cut through his thoughts. "Umbra!"
Vincent's eyes flicked to Mochi, who was still asleep on the table. "Umbra…" he muttered, testing the word on his tongue.
He liked it. Umbra had depth and meaning. In astronomy, the umbra was the innermost and darkest part of a shadow. There were other interpretations, but they all revolved around darkness and shadow. It also aligned perfectly with his alias, Shroud.
