Chapter 127: Urge

George couldn't help but fall silent at the last statement. Khan wasn't only right. His words went beyond the inevitable struggle that was waiting for them to obtain a deeper meaning. He successfully gave a reason for the pain that they had suffered on Istrone.

Khan didn't really believe in his words. He agreed with them, and he knew that they were sound, but his intentions lay elsewhere. He only wanted to help George through his struggle. As for his pain, the deep meaning mentioned before didn't even cross his mind. After all, his traumas were older than Istrone.

The two boys remained in silence for a few minutes before they resumed chitchatting about superficial topics. George ended up describing his situation with Natalie, and Khan limited himself to be a good listener.

Life appeared easier when the problems only involved girls. Everything was nothing more than a game when the political agenda of the Global Army didn't affect their youth.
