627 Price for not upgrading the system

Michael returned to the dark forest with Gaya and Nightmare. 

"What happened to you?" Looking at his dirt-covered torn armor of Michael, Gaya creased her brows. With the molten plague, Gaya knew it would be impossible for the thusians to even harm a single hair on his head. 

"Do you remember Edith?" Michael asked Gaya. Azazel and Nightmare stood beside, staring at countless feeds running through the mirrors around the room. 

"Yeah I do," Gaya said as she came to his side. She helped Michael remove his cape as well as the chest piece of his armor. Thanks to the APD, there weren't any cuts or bruises on his body. However, Gaya noticed the blood stains.  Upon seeing the blood on his perfectly chiseled chest, she clenched her fist so tight her palm began to hurt.

"Her full name is Edith Alden," Gaya stopped removing Mark 3 grappling hook attached to his wrist. Just a mere mention of the name Alden caused dark lines to form on Gaya's forehead.
