Chapter 161: Emma

"…Emma?"

Hearing Hans letting that name slip out of his mouth, Elijah asked if he knew anything about her.

"I am not sure, I could very well be mistaking her for someone else"

Replied Hans.

Elijah wanted to know more about that mysterious person, so in the hope that the young man in front of him could give him any leads, he decided to reveal to him how things had happened.

"Allow me to tell you the long version of the story then"

….

It happened this February, about a month and a half after your visit.

My condition was still worsening by the day, and I was afraid death might reach me earlier than anticipated, swallowing up whatever bit of consciousness was left in my body.

If something like that had happened… I'm sure you know what it would've meant.

A catastrophe was approaching Manhattan once again.
