Father was about to attack him ..
A man who had now reached SSS rank.
But he froze completely, When the Engineer spoke words sharper than any sword on this world:
"The child Anna Starlight carries .. "
"Is your child. One of the family you have searched for so desperately, for so long."
"That child... is ****."
Hearing those words,
I watched my father collapse to the ground, broken.
His face twisted in an expression I could not even begin to understand.
The child they wanted him to kill ..
Was his son.
His long-lost family.
"Those words… destroyed me more than anything else ever could."
He was happy ..
So, so happy, because he had found one of us.
He had found his family, Right there, so close all along.
But now ..
He was thrust into an unbearable choice.
"Choose, Abraham Starlight."
Let the child live ..
And the mother would die.
Save your old family .. And kill your new one.
Or let the child die .. And save the mother.
