Don't want the same ending as Soran?
The Section Chief's words stayed stuck in my mind as I walked out of his office and back to mine. As I walked, I could feel the numerous gazes of those around me, but I tried to pay no mind to them.
A part of me was incredibly irritated.
This was the second person who told me to give up on chasing VILE - 1048.
'I know it's hard, but if I really try, I'm sure that I can find it.'
I had grown to believe in my abilities as of late.
I was good at my job.
Very good at it, in fact. There was no denying it.
There had been a point in the past where anything scary would scare the living shit out of me, but I had grown past that point. At least, I hoped that was the case.
'...It's not like I'm immune to fear, but most of my emotions are quite numb.'
At least, I could still feel the emotion known as 'anger'.
"Is... everything alright?"
