"I want to continue my grandfather's legacy," April added. "I have to live and get stronger for him."
Her eyes stared profoundly at the ground as she walked—and Rex could tell that she wasn't staring at the ground but something deeper instead. A memory from the past that she deeply cherished even until this moment.
Snapping out of her trance, she cast a smile at Rex, "I'll tell you about it after the mission."
"No problem, I was only curious." Rex shrugged.
Due to the incident earlier, the horde had been reduced greatly, so it was easier to manage.
And since there's still plenty of road ahead, Rex decided to break the silence with a bit of small talk.
His senses were still fixed on Haxel, calculating every move—and he only asked about that since he'd been meaning to ask her—but hadn't gotten the chance to. And this moment seemed as good a moment as any.
April covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hmm? What are you chuckling at?"
