What did she just say?
Hearing her sudden words, my entire body stiffened.
Cognitive Shard. Cognitive Shard. Cognitive Shard.
The words played on repeat inside my mind. It replayed over and over again as I thought about the two words that I hadn't heard in a long time, but had been trying to figure out how to cure.
As far as I knew, there was no cure for it.
The only cure was the strange system that I had.
And yet…
This woman in front of me was telling me that she had the same disease as me?
That she managed to live for so long despite having the same disease?
I couldn't understand it.
Had I been lied to the entire time? Was there really no cure like those from the Guild suggested?
…Was the strange system really the only place that could cure me from this disease of mine?
No, most importantly, how could she even tell? None of the people I had met had noticed anything. Be it the Section Chief. The Team Leaders, and even Kyle... How did she notice it so quickly?
