"…Alright." Lane finally agreed, albeit with a heavy sigh.
Whatever hesitation he might have felt, Ava's last argument finally convinced him.
That's right, there was still Oscar, that Esper from the Allen Guild. The last person whom Lane had possessed before revealing his true identity to Damien. Still bed-bound, in the hospital, affected by a 'mysterious illness'.
How many months had it been?
To be honest, Lane had already mostly forgotten about him. After possessing so many people in the past, he was quite detached from it. Whether it was his coping mechanism or whatever, he was able to push the people out of his mind. They were all strangers, anyway, and Lane usually hadn't had many interactions with any of them, save for when he approached them to create the connection necessary for his ability. He had purposely done it this way, as it was easier to treat strangers as 'disposable'. Easier to crush any guilt he might have felt.
