Bright dialed Teacher Zephyr's Den Den Mushi.
Although he did not know what this woman had experienced, it now seemed that her betrayal of the Government was real.
Or perhaps the Government had betrayed her?
The reason he was so certain was not only because Bright could now read her thoughts, but also because his observations over the past few days had been enough to draw that conclusion.
In fact, Bright had known of Gion's presence as early as the moment she arrived on Fish-Man Island.
