Enhancement Experiment and Ineligible

Just then, a familiar voice broke the silence in the darkness.

"Genesis, are you here?"

It was Angeal's voice.

Genesis turned around and saw Angeal anxiously searching for him.

A warm current rose in his heart, mixed with complicated emotions.

He didn't know how to face Angeal, much less how to face his own failure.

But he also knew that Angeal was his friend, one of the people he trusted most in this world.

He couldn't let his emotions affect their friendship.

Angeal continued.

Genesis raised his head and looked into Angeal's eyes.

He knew Angeal was sincerely trying to help him, that he truly cared about him.

"I know you're right."

Genesis said softly.
