An Extra’s POV

Chapter 698

'Should I do it…?'

In the past, Rey would have easily dismissed Adrien and viewed him with several layers of skepticism and suspicion. But… things were different now.

Now that he had listened to Adrien, trying his hardest not to allow bias get in the way of logic, he found himself truly resonating with the boy. As he processed everything, Rey asked himself one very hard question.

'If I was Adrien… if I was in his shoes… how else would I proceed with things if I knew what I knew?'

He already had an inkling of what the answer would be.

It was staring right at him.

"I can't join your side, Adrien. I can't work together with you… or take part in any of your plans." Rey finally responded after a few seconds of silence.

In response to this, Adrien hardly showed any emotion. His smile still remained, and while there was a bit of a flicker in his eyes—just a tiny flash—nothing else seemed to have really changed.

"May I ask why?"

As the question came, Rey already expected it.

It seemed like a sincere one that required an honest answer, but he still found it difficult to make a decision on the matter.

'Should I tell him the truth? Should I just leave?'

So many thoughts were jumbled into his mind, and it took what seemed like forever to get all of them sorted out so he could make a proper decision right there and then.

'I still don't know which side to trust. I don't think I'll ever be able to know for sure, but…'

Unlike The Oracle, and unlike the Natives of H'Trae, Adrien was a classmate of his that came from Earth. They were more similar than anyone else that Rey had encountered in all his life, and his goals coincided with a promise he made to Alicia.
