“You don’t understand, Lexx.” Zaile stated.
“You don’t give me an option to understand.” Lexx turned away from Zaile. He didn’t want to look at him any longer and considered cutting off the conversation, but a small part of him was curious to hear more. “You and Riley just wanted to manipulate me like everyone else.”
“My – our youngest sister will take your place in the game –“ Zaile spoke earnestly.
“So I’ve heard. Maybe you will have better luck manipulating her.”
“She is only ten years old, Lexx.”
“… ten … “
The word echoed through Lexx’s head. It didn’t sound right. Mother had died when he was a small child. His sister would have to be four to five years younger than he was. She should be older!
“But how?” Lexx stared into the nothingness of the relay. If she were near his age, it would be different. He had survived. She could. Right? But someone closer to Maenae’s age? He had done everything he could to keep Maenae from being picked up by the ADC.
