"As for why you?" The Devil's voice was soft—almost sympathetic—but the curl of his lips held no kindness. "Now that's where things start getting interesting."
Rio narrowed his eyes. His fists clenched at his sides in impatience.
"But before I tell you the truth… are you sure you're ready to know it?" The Devil continued, a rare flicker of something real—perhaps regret—glinting behind those abyssal red eyes. "Because trust me, it's not pretty."
Rio didn't speak. He didn't blink. He simply nodded.
Over the years he had been curious about his reincarnation, about why he was chosen.
Perhaps if it was just about him, he could've ignored this problem.
But he wasn't alone.
