Adam shrugged. His gaze was distant, seemingly staring at the setting sun. He leisurely took a sip of wine, then asked a question of his own, "Fattie, do you really think Tron is the only planet with life on it?"
Edward's lips parted, but no words came out. He couldn't help but loudly gulp.
He lingered for several moments, then said, "But those are just conjectures! The scholars of the Tower are certain that life, especially complex, intelligent life, might be incredibly rare!"
