'Or maybe I should attack.'
'After all, if Kane regains his Trait, there is no knowing how strong he'll become.'
Neo did not plan to kill Kane, only subdue him, which was why he was hesitating.
He would need to be far stronger than Kane to be able to subdue him without killing him.
'I should—'
Suddenly, Neo stopped.
The look in Kane's eyes, he recognized that.
When Kane saw that Neo would not attack, he opened his mouth.
"Where is Ava?"
"If you didn't find her in Layer 3, then she is dead."
Vlad answered as he summoned a thin stream of blood.
The blood warped around Kane's arms, and slowly formed patterns similar to the Runes engraved on his arm.
"How did she die?" Kane questioned, surprisingly calm.
"I don't know. But I'm judging she went to Layer 5 with Neo Hargraves and Zera de Beaufort, where she died along with Zera."
"So Tartarus killed her?"
