Lotti watched as Hans finished the burger in silence. Although everything was all awkward, a room of two still felt better than only one.
“So?” Lotti tried opening the dialogue.
“Very tasty,” Hans finally said.
“So! You know where Ivan is?” Lotti took up courage.
Hans didn’t respond, but looked to the sky again. Before Lotti could ask, he started to speak.
“Born on the Ark and serving the Ark… it is reasonable. But after giving our body and soul to the New World, what is left of us?”
Lotti was taken by surprise and couldn’t answer.
“I’ve heard that there was a Tier-2 Genome Agent, producing quite a few Tier-0 embryo,” Hans continued in his toneless voice. “That ain’t anyone else, but Yui.”
“Tier-0 embryo? Wait a minute, Ivan is Tier-1?” It took a moment for Lotti to realize the implication. “Hold up!”
“An innocent, honest and kind boy met the prettiest girl he’d ever seen in his life, but the girl was only after his status…” Hans kept his monotone. “It is not a surprise. It has always been impossible to have a happy ending for both so far apart.”
