Ofelia spoke slowly, "As we have said before—we shall become allies. And on this basis, I am willing to be your most faithful... and even the most loyal of allies."
"You are prepared, aware that you might not come back this time, right?"
Annan reaffirmed, "If protecting you puts me in danger, I will not hesitate to abandon you."
Ofelia is a silver-tier "Poet," which is also a transcendental profession belonging to the Hunter sequence. To ordinary people, he is without doubt a strong individual... but to a gold-tier, at the mere threshold of an Otherworld-level nightmare, his death inside would be entirely possible.

"Although... I am still not sure if it is love. But I think, when I come back, I will definitely give you an answer."
