"What do you mean you've been called to fight?" Kotone said.
"Just as I said." Abel said.
"Then what will we do?" Ion said.
"I know!" Abel clutched Kotone. "You can go meet my terrifying boss for me! Say you're my mother! And that I'm too much of a coward to report to the AX!"
"But I—" Kotone said.
"If you do this for me, I will find a way to heal your brother." Abel promised.
Kotone pouted. "You promised to do that anyway."
"That I did." Abel said. "Will you help me?"
Kotone rolled her eyes. "You already know I will, Abel."
Abel beamed and put a ring on her finger. "To connect you to Crusnik. You will be safe, Kotone."
