Michael glanced at Lily.
"I know."
"Then how are they Awakeners?"
While Michael had been addressing the crowd, Lily had already asked Arianne about the matter. As far as she understood, there were no Awakeners native to the Land of Origin. That was supposed to be one of the fundamental differences between the Land of Origin and places like Aurora.
Unfortunately, Arianne had been equally helpless when Lily questioned her, admitting Michael had only told her that people there had suddenly started awakening.
Hearing Lily question him, Michael ignored her.
What was he supposed to say? That there was a very real possibility this entire situation had something to do with him?
Lily stared at the side of his face.
"You're ignoring me again."
Michael continued ignoring her. Arianne's lips curved slightly at the exchange, but she said nothing.
Eventually, Lily could only give up.
Michael gave her no time to continue questioning him either. He turned slightly toward her.
