Kouhei's expression hardened.
He didn't like the way Via was looking at him.
It wasn't the look of someone who had discovered a powerful opponent.
It was the look of someone who had discovered an interesting specimen.
"If that's the case, then I want to study your body," Via said. "If I could examine you properly, I might finally understand what exactly happened to make you like this."
His grin widened.
"I want to dissect you and study you."
The casual way Via said it somehow made the statement even worse.
He spoke as though he were discussing an ordinary experiment rather than explaining that he wanted to take apart a living person. Apparently, being an angel hadn't done much for his bedside manner.
Before Kouhei could respond, Via suddenly launched himself forward.
His gray wings beat against the air, propelling him toward Kouhei with incredible speed. The acceleration was so sudden that the distance between them disappeared almost immediately.
