Xun Junyao took a moment to gather her thoughts. "I keep having this fear that everything is a setup. By joining you, I'm essentially rushing into a demon's mouth."
"What would give you such an idea?"
"...Why have you never brought up the Fate Line? You must have known when we first met?"
"I didn't — at least not the first time I heard about you," Wu Hong admitted. "At that time, I was still extremely feeble from my [Existence Injury] from the second war, and my senses were at an all-time low."
"What about when you noticed?"
"My first instinct was that the man chosen for me by Fate must be scum. Could it be that I, wasn't enough for him? However, I realized we were all victims in this situation. The real culprit is the thing that dictates our lives through those damn Fate Nexuses. I always treated you as the innocent party in all of this."
