*Northwestern Irkallan Rail Line—Freight Route to Calavera from imperial territory
"Haaa~ how much longer do we have to wait? Cargo trains are so dreary. I swear, I might just die of boredom"
Leon's voice—exaggerated, drawn-out, and far too whiny for a grown man—slammed into my ears like a hammer, the way he stretched his words, like a child desperate for attention, only made it worse.
"Then perish. Not like we'd be losing much if you decided to waltz into enemy fire with your arms spread wide"
I shot back without missing a beat, my gaze still fixed on the scenery rushing past the open cargo door.
"Ouch, harsh, Fi…when did you become so cruel? I thought we raised you better"
Leon fake cried dramatically, rubbing at invisible tears.
"This and that are two different matters"
I said dryly, quipping back.
"So cold. So heartless. And to think, I spent all these years keeping you alive. What a tragic betrayal. I'll never emotionally recover from this"
