"What are you talking about?"
Professor Joy furrowed his brows, unable to comprehend Sei-an's next words.
"Melena and Kaysha, and..."
"…?"
"You killed them both, along with your child who was in Melena's womb."
"…!"
But as Sei-an continued speaking, Professor Joy's eyes began to widen.
"Wh-what did you just say?"
"..."
"What did you just say?!"
In response to his demanding tone, Sei-an took a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to him.
"This is Melena's diary. It contains her sorrow over your betrayal, after she had been so happy, promising a future with you and carrying your child."
"…!"
When Sei-an first confirmed Melena's death, he had seen her soul and another, smaller, brighter soul approach the Grim Reaper and vanish together.
That's why he had asked Kanto and Arisa if she had been seeing anyone.
He had suspected her death was related to the child's father.
"Take him away, now."
"Yes, sir."
A moment later, at the renewed command, the soldiers dragged the dazed Professor Joy and Japhiro away from the spot, quickly disappearing.
"..."
Sei-an clicked his tongue softly as he watched Professor Joy, looking utterly bewildered, being dragged away by the soldiers. Then he turned, walked over, and quietly approached Lark.
"Keep your promise."
"Damn it!"
Lark muttered a curse, his expression full of discontent, but Sei-an merely let out a small chuckle before calmly leaving the spot.
