It'd been a few days since Ezra realized he was falling back into the same behavior that led to his first demise.

'I'll never let it happen again'

The realization brought about multiple complications.

For starters, what he thought to be a foolproof plan was in fact, riddled with holes.

Soul contracts weren't invincible nor undeniable.

Worse, his soul could only take so much strain before reaching a limit.

As such, numerous thoughts - negative thoughts  - came to mind, taking the form of skepticism.

'What'll happen when Fredrick becomes a Grandmaster? Would he rat me out or abandon me?'

The more he thought, the more fearful he became.

So many things could go wrong. Was handing over so many mana stones really the right choice?

But Fredrick's words altered his reasoning.

"I doubt anything remains to confirm where my loyalty lies"

Ezra took a reproach, replaying the memories.

From concocting the potion to meeting Cabrera, along with subsequent events afterwards.
