This is about Apollo. I have to take this seriously. I cannot let anyone overhear anything. Someone was listening in on them, and she couldn’t guarantee whether they would be followed or not even if they were to leave, so she picked the spot where the camera couldn’t see them. Since she was worried they could still be heard, she stood on tiptoe and leaned closer to whisper, “Can I have a few strands of your hair?”

She mused over it for a long time before coming to this decision. She couldn’t possibly pluck his hair herself, since it would be inappropriate. If Keith was Apollo’s father, she could see the boy wanting him, so there was no need to hide anything. If he wasn’t the father, then he should forget about this soon enough.

Keith paused for a moment. He didn’t think she would make this request, but he only hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Sure.” He didn’t even ask her why she needed his hair. He then plucked a few strands off his head and handed them to her.

Carefully, she took them from him. This is about Apollo’s parentage. This is important. And hair is delicate. I can’t move too much or I might risk damaging it. She took them, tucked them away, and opened the door.

The moment she did, she felt a gust of cold wind assailing her. It’s hot as a stove, so what’s with the chill? It’s even colder than the room. And I feel something dangerous coming closer.

Keith couldn’t hide his smile even if he tried, and he called out deliberately, “A minute, Alice-Alice.” He was starting to come up with a nickname too,
