After hearing Lumian-na's words, Nimrod's gaze fell on the Fool's seal on her chest. He raised a hand slightly and instructed her, "Don't resist."
The moment Nimrod finished speaking, a slowly turning clock seemed to appear in his eyes. Transparent worms revolved counterclockwise within it, taking on a faint, bright-yellow hue.
