Chapter 301
Two weeks later. Terra felt heavier than usual. Fuel levels had dropped from concerning to critical, entire districts had reduced power consumption. Night patrols were shorter, training drills had been cut in half, even the air defense grid had begun operating in rotation to conserve energy. In the strategy room, Mira stared at the digital fuel log projected across the table. The numbers were cold and unforgiving, red indicators blinked next to storage hubs that had once been full. She leaned back in her chair slowly, her fingers pressing against her temples. “Why the hell would they burn this much on patrols? F*cking hell!” She snapped. In one sharp motion, she swept the stack of physical files off the desk. Papers scattered across the floor and a glass of water tipped over and rolled away. The doors slid open and Jace walked in with Gordon behind him. Jace’s expression mirrored hers, though he kept it contained. One of his sleeves hung empty, he had removed his mechanical arm a

The next morning in Aurora City Memorial Hospital was quiet, almost peaceful. The surgery lasted several hours, and for once, there were no explosions, no glowing eyes, no violent clashes between twins. Just bright operating lights and the steady focus of trained hands doing careful work. Thomas led the procedure still, but with calm precision. He no longer had any intent to tweak anything. Mira’s condition had been worse than anyone expected, the scans showed fragile vessels and abnormal pressure around damaged regions of her brain. For someone like her to even stand and fight in that state was nothing short of terrifying. When it was finally over, Thomas removed his gloves and let out a controlled breath. “She’ll live.” He said simply. “Recovery won’t be instant, but the pressure has been relieved. The bleeding should stop.” Jace, who had been waiting outside the entire time, closed his eyes in relief. He did not smile, he rarely did since Mira told him about the pain, but the

Michael turned fully toward Mira and Jace, confusion and tension mixing in his eyes. “Did father also arrange for you to come here?” Mira let out a dry scoff. “Father? Please. As if I’d ever ask that man for help. We all know you’re his golden child anyway.” She folded her arms and tilted her head. “That said, how the hell did you lose your memories? Did you hit your head that hard?” Michael instinctively rubbed the side of his head. The moment he did, something cracked open inside his mind. Images flashed violently, Moons University, the chemical technology faculty courtyard, Killian’s twisted grin, the iron rods piercing through his eye and stomach and the intense pain that surged through him at that moment. He staggered back as the hallway seemed to tilt. Thomas rushed forward and grabbed his arm to steady him. Mira watched with mild irritation. “Just my luck.” She muttered. “If it wasn’t for this damn hindrance, this would’ve been the perfect chance to end him.” More memori

The next morning felt different the moment Michael opened his eyes. Celia was already awake and pacing the room like she had too much coffee. She kept checking her phone, adjusting the curtains, fixing the bed sheets even though they were perfectly straight. Michael sat up slowly, studying her without saying anything at first. He had lost his memories, not his instincts. Something was definitely off. She caught him staring and flashed him a bright smile, “Good morning. Did you sleep well?” “Like someone who ran a marathon in his head.” He replied calmly. “You seem… Energetic.” She laughed a little too fast, “It’s a nice day. That’s all.” He didn’t push it immediately, but the feeling stayed in his chest. It felt tight and uncomfortable, like a knot that refused to loosen. Whatever she and Thomas talked about last night had not left her mind… And now it wasn’t leaving his either. Later that morning, they went up to the rooftop. The space was polished and quiet, with sleek bench

Michael stepped toward her the moment he spotted her, his eyes searched her face carefully when he noticed her expression. “I was looking for you.” He said softly. “Hey… Are you okay?” Celia stared at him for a second too long, studying him. There was no recognition or tension, no flicker of anger, just concern. Her heart thudded in her chest, “He doesn’t know.” She thought. “Uhhh…” She blinked and forced her thoughts into order, then held up one of the drinks she had been carrying. “Here, it’s your favorite coconut drink. You haven’t had one in the longest time.” Michael didn’t reach for it immediately, his gaze remained locked on her face. “I’m asking if you’re okay.” She smiled, though it didn’t fully reach her eyes. “Of course. I’m just a little tired since I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” He studied her a second longer, as if weighing her answer. “Are you sure?” She nodded and gently pushed the drink into his hand. “I think I’ll skip the session and get some rest.”
Chapter 296
“Are you okay, miss?” Michael asked, genuine worry in his voice as he bent down and picked up the handkerchief she had dropped. He noticed the faint red stain on it and frowned, “Here… You’re bleeding.” Mira gasped and quickly snatched the cloth from his hand. She turned her back to him at once, pressing the fabric to her nose, “Don’t let this fool you.” She said sharply, her pride rising before anything else. “I can still take you on.” Michael tilted his head slightly, a faint smile forming without effort. “Yeah, I’m sure you can.” He replied lightly, not taking her words seriously, “What’s your name?” She turned back slowly, disbelief written all over her face. “The first time you actually try to be funny, the joke isn’t landing right. Is your sense of humor that dry, broth-?” “Sorry, I can’t chat.” Michael interrupted gently, already stepping away. “I’m looking for someone. I wish you a quick recovery though… See you around.” He turned the corner and disappeared from her sig
