"I see." Clovis closed his eyes for a moment. He thought that silencing the doctor was enough, but the scared staff might still spread the rumor. This result ended up making him realize how naive he was.

"Don't think too much about this." Kanaria patted his back.
"I know. It's just… it truly sucks. I feel like I'm being a hypocrite. I don't like people suddenly killing me for something I haven't done, but those people are now dying because of me. I'm just scared that in the future, I'll become someone who I hate… someone who will regard common people as nothing but ants, whose deaths don't matter to them. A hypocrite that will do ruthless things to people but feel like they're the most unfortunate person when someone hits them a little bit."
