AT THE SAME TIME
MICHAEL'S POINT OF VIEW:
Vanessa leaned against the stone railing of the balcony, arms crossed, watching the moonlight flicker over the forest below.
"You not telling us all the truth."I said.
"What makes you say that?" She asked, voice way too casual.
I stepped closer, narrowing my eyes.
"Because every time I ask about the other players, the ones in the original game, you dodge."I said.
Her jaw clenched ever so slightly. Caught.
"I told you what I could." She said eventually, still avoiding my eyes. "Some files are sealed. Even from me."
"But you know who the main leads were, don't you?" I pressed. "The actual FL and ML of Alpha's Chosen One."
Vanessa's shoulders stiffened.
"Why do you want to know that so badly?" She asked, finally turning to face me.
"Because if this world keeps rewriting itself and we're caught in the crossfire, I need to know what roles we were never meant to play."I said.
