'Huh?'
Vale jumped to the side while directing the course of Stacy's blow to barely miss his torso.
"Stop."
Wasting no time, Vale rushed around the bend and to the hallway leading to the exit. Ximena and Stacy followed him with curiosity, but the moment they all rounded the walls, they paused and prepared for a potential battle.
In front of Vale, at the base of the ramp leading outside, a bloodied man lay face down on the floor, a small pool of blood forming under him.
'This…'
Vale continued his sprint until he was standing over the half-dead man, and looked up to see Salome looking back at him.
'Is she the cause of this?'
Vale didn't entirely know what to feel at the sight of this dying human.
Vale was human, or at least once was. But once again, he felt not even a shred of sympathy for him. Instead, Vale's focus was more on the state. Not just his bloodied, injured state. But his fettered state.
