"Wahahaha, Rayleigh, I told you long ago not to care about what those Marines said. How could someone like Shin possibly be the way the Marines described?" Roger laughed heartily as he filled his cup.
After draining it in one gulp, Roger's gaze sharpened. "Shin is the only person I've ever been unable to sense... Even when he's standing right in front of me, if I close my eyes, I can't sense anything at all. Amazing. I've never experienced anything like this before."
