"Hm?"
Just as Lono was about to ask his secretary to find a reason to politely decline Bernard City's request, his will wavered for a moment.
Because in that instant, he felt the faint tremor of the crack on the back of his right hand, the one that resembled the slit of an eye.
'This is...'
Lono's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just now, it seemed "Balance" had tipped ever so slightly.
'Why?'
'Have I encountered something that will affect the path of my own destiny again?'
He turned his head to look at the Data on the floating light screen before him.
'Is it because of this person?'
'Does the stirring of "Balance" mean there's a risk in contacting him, or is not contacting him the better choice?'
'Every time "Balance" stirs, it's so difficult to decipher...'
"Should I decline Bernard City's request for you?"
Just then, his secretary's voice came through the comms, interrupting Lono's thoughts.
