[FF7][SC] Star Flower

Old enough to look at, he calmly let go of his hand and let the PHS fall to the ground.Gillian immediately changed her target, fell humble at his feet, and clutched the phone tightly.This series of actions made the sentence just now impossible, and it completely became a sad and pitiful joke.

Genesis almost laughed at it.

"You haven't notified Shinra yet, have you? I gave you so many opportunities, why didn't you report it?"

Gillian maintained that position, motionless, "You won't give me a chance."

"You are afraid."

"..."

"You are actually afraid. How hypocritical, you can do experiments on him and let him die, but you dare not let him know?" How funny, how absurd, and how...true , "Do you think that if this is the case, the crime you committed does not exist? You wantonly played with his life and caused him to suffer so much pain and torture that he shouldn't have suffered... What is it to bear such a little blame? "

She stretched out her hand and touched his boots, hanging them loosely, not daring to hold them too tightly. "My fault. It's all my fault. What can I do for you? Anything." The pretense of forced calm gradually peeled off, revealing a trace of vivid horror, "You won't tell him, will you? It's a friend, you won't watch him get hurt?"

"Gillian." Genesis knelt down and said to her softly and sadly, "He is going to die, and you won't even let him know the truth?"

Blank hit her.It's hard to describe that expression. Genesis has read many books and watched many plays, but he still doesn't know what words to use.He just felt... just felt that, if this person had a heart, then her heart had just been broken into a thousand pieces, and each piece was dripping with blood.

"He's... dead?"

"Didn't you know this a long time ago? The cells implanted with J factor will be devoured by alienation without exception, and in the end they will lose the ability to divide earlier than ordinary cells. He will be injured during the mission now, and the frequency of mistakes is also high. Taller than before. You know Angel, he doesn't want to worry people, if he can't hide it—"

"No—!" If they hadn't used the sleeping magic stone, the others must have woken up already.It was an indescribable scream, and it took a while for Genesis to realize that it was actually crying. "Not now! It can't be so fast!" She trembled violently, shaking like a sieve, "You are lying to me...you must be lying to me..."

"Why would I lie to you?" Genesis smiled, "Now Angel is making you miserable, that's enough."

Because Gillian is no longer a researcher.

People are defined by the relationships they are in [3], which is the essence of human beings.She had begun to ache for someone, that Gillian who cared nothing but her own future was gone.Even if everything at the moment is built on a lie that can be broken at the touch of a finger, it is just a sand castle on the coast that is about to be washed down, but she has...undeniably...became a mother...for Angel.

Genesis held Claude carefully and came to the piles of those weird warehouses.They are blurred and shadowy in the dark night, and the undulating gray and black outlines are like beasts with teeth and claws.After Holland's death, the only authority holder here is Gillian, which means a complete and independent experimental system that is not monitored by Shinra.He didn't have to find Gillian, and he didn't have to take this risk, but now he judged that Claude must undergo a thorough inspection here.He would watch Gillian from the sidelines, there would be no escapades, no risks, it would be a seamless arrangement.

They injected him with a small amount of anesthesia and took hair, blood and cell samples.Genesis couldn't allow more, even though Gillian looked at him beggingly, but he knew it was enough.This was not for Angel in the first place.

everything will get better.He held Claude's hand and put it on his forehead, although he thought it was to make the boy less afraid of the laboratory, but in fact, maybe it was just self-comfort.Gillian was the last retreat he could think of, and if it failed, there would be... Hojo, and that was unacceptable under any circumstances.

Waiting for the result itself doesn't take long, because this is Shinra after all.

Accompanying the report was Gillian's look of disbelief.She had seen Claude a few times, and Angel would sometimes take him home with him.She never treated him as an outsider, even if not very intimately.Even now that she knew that he could help Angel, she never really thought of hurting him.

"Why...he actually..."

"He's not human. Never was." Genesis nodded. "So I need to know what he is."

"I've never seen such a life." After being shocked, Gillian gently stroked the boy's blond hair in awe and affection. "What is life as you know it? A polymer with nucleic acid and protein at its core? Is it?" Yes, the basic definition is like this. He is indeed composed of nucleic acid and protein, but his nucleic acid, and even every basic component of nucleic acid, is completely mimicked by demons. This is why J factor will erode him violently, Even at the expense of giving up the successfully fused host. The person who created him must be a genius among geniuses, this is no longer the domain of humans, it is a level that only gods can reach."

"Genesis...he can't even be called a life...he's just a collection of...massive information."
