Must be nice for him. To have such a woman like that.

At those words, Kyle gave Adrian a look. His eyes definitely possessed a different emotion from before, not the indifferent gaze he always had. Seeing that Noah hadnt let go of his hand, Adrian could tell they had the same feelings for each other.

its true that I am jealous.

Perhaps Noah heard him, she stuck her head up from behind Kyles back, and then she met Adrians gaze. After a long staring contest, Noah grabbed Kyles hand and shook it. I have to tell him something, she said.

Never. I know what hell try to do.

Nothing will happen. I am ten times stronger now, she insisted.

Your magic abilities, yes. But your physical strength and agility are depleted, so no.

Hey! But still!

A few quiet scuffles between the two ensued. Adrian tried to place Eleonoras face over hers. It wasnt difficult to do. Noahs languid, indifferent expression was surprisingly similar to hers. Frankly speaking, there were times when he wished Noah, who had only worn Eleonoras body, was just her. He didnt have to bring her back to life, all Noah had to do was just pretend she was Eleonora. Then all he had to do was think of her as her Though Adrian had always protested and expressed his vigilance, Noah was not as cruel to him as Eleonora.

Then Ill be with Muell. Going with him will increase my agility by double. Right?

How do you expect

It would have been nice if Eleonora had looked just half as much as her. Adrians head spun like crazy. It hadnt been that long since the soul division, so the bond between the still unstable soul and the body gradually began to shake. Adrian had a splitting headache and dropped his head down, his sense drifting away.

Hey, Adrian.

At the calm voice, his mind returned. Someone was hunkered down next to him. It was Noah and Muell who managed to win the scuffle with Kyle.

Come have a little chat with me.

***

Sitting in the same position Muell was, Noah tore Adrian apart.

Looking back, the atmosphere that had surrounded Adrian on the first floor and Adrian on the fourth floor were strangely different. On the first floor, he had looked extremely unstable, much more insanity than usual. On the other hand, Adrian, who had threatened her with an explosive switch on the fourth floor, was relatively dry and his usual slickness was gone.

When Noah asked Muell which side was the real Adrian, he pointed to the left without hesitation. It was the Adrian who had pushed Noah on the fourth-floor balcony on the fourth floor, a gunshot wound to the arm and chapped lips. Kyle also understood that and pulled Adrians clone, who had been ragged by Muells sharp blows, out into the hall.

The Adrian left in the room was glancing at Noah. As he was looking at her with watery eyes, Noah sighed because he looked like a puppy in the rain.

Though he was the real Adrian, he was not in his normal condition. First of all, it was surprising that the human being who had split his soul in half had remained sane. Maybe Muells magic was minimizing the damage to his soul.

You were supposed to kill yourself?

I thought that it wouldnt be bad.

Why all of a sudden? You acted like you didnt know what to do because you missed Eleonora.

Adrian leaned slowly against the wall. The man who was always as beautiful as a God-made sculpture murmured with a gloomy face, Actually, my original plan was to kill that thing. That terrible lump that has fallen from me. Hate, inferiority, pain; all those things. I thought Id be comfortable after separating those from me and getting rid of them. Thats why I turned towards soul division.

But?

But now I am not entirely sure. Which one was really cut out. Noah didnt stop him from speaking. As she remained silent, Adrians voice became low and deep as if he were talking to himself. I guess there was nothing left of me in the first place except for the things related to Eleonora. I am not wrong. Because its no different from devoting my whole life to that bitch to get a little love one time.

More silence from Noah.

I am not sure now. What exactly it is that I want. What I am going to do now that Im caught here and all the money from the project is gone. I am sure this is now what I wanted. I dont think this is it.

He had been living his life to the fullest, but he didnt think this was the answer. There were times when Noah also thought like that. If Adrian was wandering in a bitter void like she had been, maybe this was an extremely depressing burnout.
