Vivienne furrowed her brows, keeping silent.

Indeed, from the moment she saw Percival's supposed "corpse," she knew it wasn't him.

How could she not recognize the lifelike android she had crafted with her own hands?

And the plane explosion raised too many questions. Among all those people on board, only Percival's body was found?
