Young Aether's gaze shifted toward the woman sitting on the cracked stone floor.
She devoured the emergency ration pack without a trace of dignity, swallowing every bite as though someone might take it away from her before she could finish. Her fingers trembled around the bottle as she desperately washed the food down with water.
RIN quietly watched the woman and said,
^Man... she looks unbelievably pitiful... Nova Kestrel. PhD—^
"PhD in Cosmetic Science. Master's in Genetic Engineering. Former Chief Genome Researcher of the Beta Research Division. One of the greatest scientific minds of her generation. And… she is the one who created the wheat that could be edible. Saving millions…. Is that right?"
That rabbit Avatar blinked at him as RIN AI asked, ^How did you all know that?^
"You are the one who told me?" Young Aether said in a blunt tone.
^I did? When did I ever tell her? The heck, I am seeing her for the first time!^
