Lightning Is the Only Way

Jake was unsure what Gravis was planning, but Gravis just wouldn't say what he was planning. Gravis only said that it would be fun.

After that event, the group went shopping for a while, and Gravis bought a ton of stuff for Yersi and Stella. He also asked Aris what he wanted, but Aris adamantly refused. In Aris' mind, Gravis had already done more than enough for him. It was time for him to pay Gravis back.

This was one thing where Aris and Gravis just couldn't agree on. Gravis wanted to help Aris, but Aris wanted to help Gravis.

It was kind of sweet but also annoying.

"How is Cera?" Gravis asked after a while.

The atmosphere immediately turned strange.

"Dad, you know that Cera is more beast than human," Aris said.

Gravis nodded.

"Cera has been amongst beasts for nearly her entire life, and her inner conflicts have vanished just like mine. However, a resolution of an inner conflict might not always be the best for the surrounding people."

Gravis had already expected something like that, which was why he hadn't immediately asked about her.

"Cera is not interested in us," Aris said.

Gravis took a shaky breath. He had expected something like this, but it was still difficult to hear.

"How is she?" Gravis asked.

"She seems to be doing well," Aris answered. "She embraced being a beast, and there are no inner conflicts left. She believes that something like love or familial bonds don't exist, which is true in her case. After all, she doesn't have the ability to feel the associated emotions."

"Because of that, it doesn't matter whether we are family or not. She only sees us as some companions that haven't met for a long time."
