Laura was undeniably beautiful. Though not quite at Cynthia's level, she was on par with Jenny. Her chocolate skin, braided hair cascading down her back, and an increasingly refined physique due to evolution only amplified her beauty. At some point, she had discarded her glasses when her vision became perfect, elevating her appearance even further.

"Jon…" Laura's voice cut through the silence.
"Hm?" He turned slightly, noting the seriousness in her tone.
"Do you hate me?" she asked.
"Eh?" Jon's eyes widened in feigned shock. In reality, he had sensed her emotions with his 'Mind World' ability, so her question wasn't entirely unexpected. Still, it was better to play dumb, considering he wasn't certain what had led to this moment.
