Alex, Alice, Ann, and Luna stood at the side as they watched Clare wail.
She kept muttering things like: 'Did they really do it?', 'What did we ever do to them', 'Why do we even have this power?', and so on.
They could tell that she was sad, it was as clear as day, but they could hear unwillingness and weakness in her voice.
It was as if she was devastated by the discovery, but she was unable to do sothing.
It was like she wanted revenge, but she was too weak to get it.
Alex, who was confused about her emotions, now had an inkling to what it could be, but for now, they ass decided to stay quiet.
Alex had barricaded the area with an air barrier the mont he asked Clare to watch the video.
He didn't know what was going to happen, but he knew that things could get out of hand.
So, he was prepared for the worst.
He was prepared for the minute chance that Clare really was a mber of that group.
If that was the case, then the barrier would've stopped her from escaping.
But the barrier worked fine even in this situation since the others were not disturbed.
'I know for sure that she won't want her sister to look at her like this.'
Alex knew that Clare wouldn't want it, so the barrier worked well for this situation.

"Thank you…"
Clare muttered as she emptied the glass of water Ann gave her.
"Are you ok, now?"
Ann didn't reply to her thank you, she asked a question instead.
Clare looked down as she heard that question.
Her hand that was holding the glass trembled a bit, but it soon cald down.
Clare took a deep breath and then nodded her head albeit still keeping her head down.
"…Yes, I'm fine now."
Clare muttered, causing them to shake their heads.
'That's clearly 'not fine'….' X4
But they didn't point it out.
It was Clare's problem, and it was not sothing they could consol about since they didn't even know what had happened.
Just then, Alex spoke.
"I don't know why you cried, and I don't know what you felt, but I know that it was anything other than pleasant…."
Alex spoke sympathetically, but then he added.
"However, I will still ask you this question: That ability was the sa as yours, wasn't it?"
Alex's question caused Clare's body to jerk for a second.
Before she raised her head and looked up at him.
'I see why he showed that video….'
Clare muttered inwardly.
Just like her, Alice, Ann, and, Luna also realized the reason, they were not that dumb.
If soone from that mysterious group had the sa ability as Clare, then the first question that would co to their mind would be sothing related to betrayal.
And they knew that Alex hated lies, betrayal was sothing that was way above lying.
Clare, who had the sa thought process, pursed her lips.
She never expected Alex to trust her so soon, and she knew that it was not easy to gain Alex's trust, but a girl can still have expectations.
She didn't want a romantic relationship with Alex, at least not for now, right she had to take care of her sister and give Cecil the life that she really deserved.
But that didn't an that Clare would hate it if Alex showed her a bit more trust.
'I've been doing my best for the past weeks…'
She muttered inwardly.
She knew her position was not that good.
She was soone who used to work for their enemies, so trusting her was a bit hard, and she knew that, but still….
"It's not like I don't trust you, Clare, I do, that's why you're still alive right now.
And I don't want to think that you have any kind of relation to that group, but for that, you will have to tell what's happening…"
Alex uttered when he looked into Clare's eyes.
He could tell what she was feeling even without his ability.
The disappointnt, sorrow, and longing for sothing were clear in her eyes.
"Un."
Clare stared back into Alex's eyes and nodded her head.
"Yes, that ability is the sa ability as mine."
Clare revealed, but the girls' bodies tensed a bit.
"But I don't know them."
Clare added seriously, as she continued to look into Alex's eyes.
Alex stared at Clare for a while before he smiled.
"I knew it already, I just wanted to know the reason for your reaction…."
Alex bead, causing the girls to sigh.
They didn't know for sure, but they felt like Alex had the ability to tell the truth and lie apart, so his silence made them think that maybe Clare was lying.
Well, they were not entirely wrong since Alex's empathy lets him tell apart dishonesty and honesty, and that's enough to judge one's truth and lie.
However, just as Alex said, he wasn't really suspicious of Clare, he just wanted to make sure.
He was more interested in the reason why Clare was crying earlier.
Sothing told him that it was related to Clare's past.
Clare, who heard Alex's words clenched her fists.
The girls and Alex saw that, and although none of them knew what had happened, they were sure that she was hurting.
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, he never said it was compulsory."
Alice moved close to Clare and patted her shoulder with a smile on her face.
Now that it was clear that Clare was not actually a spy, Alice didn't hold back.
Clare who heard Alice's words looked up and forced a smile.
"It's fine, crying over it is not going to change it anyway…."
Clare's lips trembled as she spoke those words, but the forced smile still remained on her face.
*Inhale*
Clare took a deep breath before she began.
"I told you guys before about my family's condition, right?"
Clare questioned as she looked at everyone simultaneously.
"That your family is being hunted down, yes."
Alex nodded his head.
"You sure don't hold back your words…"
Clare muttered as she heard Alex's words.
He could've just said 'yes', but he had to say it all.
"Ah, my bad…."
Alex realized his mistake and uttered with an apologetic smile.
"It's fine, and yes, just like you said, we are being chased down."
Clare paused a bit and took a deep breath again.
"However, not everyone is lucky like and Cecil, many of us were caught by the people from that empire…."
Clare clenched her fist before she continued.
For her, talking about this was hard, her blood would boil the mont she tried to think about the only possibility that ca to her mind, but she didn't stop.
"I once heard that they had soone who could devour their enemies and extract their abilities…."
