The question made everyone turn silent.
Staring in Leon's direction, I didn't know how to respond or react. Was what he was saying true?
'I did see it with my own eyes, but I still have my connection with the Conductor and the others. I doubt that I'm actually dead.'
Looking around, my heart sank when I saw the others show similar expressions to mine.
They were probably thinking the same thing.
"...That's two from my group."
Hovering over the spot where the severed head of his group member was, Leon shook his head in disappointment.
"His name was Michael. He was quite talented. It's a pity to see him go like this, but at the end of the day, since he's dead, it only means that he wasn't good enough to be in my group."
Those from Leon's group stiffened, but said nothing while Leon put his sword away and looked around, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Eventually, he moved towards one of the trees and sat down, leaning back against the dark bark.
