"Seven."
Her words made my mind numb.
"I have met you in seven different lifetimes."
I froze in place, her words crashing down on me like waves.
"Qais—."
I raised my hand, stopping her in place.
Rubbing my face that had grown colder, I tried to compose myself.
Alright, no need to freak out.
It's just seven lives.
Let's just think as if I die and reincarnate like every other person.
'....'
If I put it that way then I guess it's not that bad.
Well, guess I am just a normal guy.
Taking in a deep breath, I smiled towards Inna.
"Wow." I exhaled softly. "That's a lot more than I expected."
Inna blinked at me, clearly surprised by my calm reaction.
"You're… not mad?" she asked cautiously.
I shook my head. "No. Just… processing."
She tilted her head, watching me closely. "You're taking it… surprisingly well."
I chuckled, rubbing the back of my neck. "I mean, sure, it's a bit insane. But at this point, what hasn't been insane?"

'Exactly.'
