While Igor and Stan Sol were discussing future arrangements, Kadi was engaged in intense communication with the Little Black Hands.
The Little Black Hands had inexplicably clung to Kadi. Perhaps it was because he spoke the most, or because his words quickly instilled in them a sense of belonging. Whatever the reason, Kadi made the Little Black Hands feel comfortable, and they couldn't help but be drawn towards him.
"I've told you clearly, planning doesn't work this way, you need to think things through," Kadi claimed, though he was doubtful inside, buoyed only by vanity and stubbornness.
The Little Black Hands didn't seem to care. They felt an undeniable need to stick close to Kadi. The sense of familiar warmth the One-Eyed Monster exuded felt too much like their own. This familiarity mirrored their own nature—playful yet intensely longing for their Homeland. It was as if a playful child had suddenly matured, developing complex emotions.
