"So… how are you feeling?" Vega asked, her striking purple eyes fixed intently on Anthony's calm blue ones.
Anthony remained silent for a moment, knowing full well that Vega was inquiring about his mental state. They were on the brink of another battle, whether it would happen in minutes or hours didn't matter. Entering such battles with the wrong mindset could easily lead to death.
"I'm fine, Vee. I wouldn't let people I don't even know give me sleepless nights," Anthony responded evenly, his voice steady and composed.
"Good. At that point, it's no longer about revenge. It becomes self-inflicted punishment if you start regretting your actions," Vega replied, her tone clear and firm.
Anthony raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching into a faint smile as he replied, "You speak as though you've wiped out a planet before."
Vega chuckled softly and responded, "Don't say things like that, or people will start thinking we're a crazy couple who go around destroying planets for fun."
