This dress was newly bought. Miyata Junren found the magazine that Zero frequently flipped through and noticed a few pictures with little hearts drawn beside them, so he selected one and bought it as a gift for Zero to celebrate the success of an excessive experiment.
He didn't know that Zero actually didn't like those clothes.
Those little hearts were all left by Xiaoqi.
But he had already forgotten who Xiaoqi was, or maybe he had never paid attention to her from the beginning.
With hundreds or thousands of subjects replaced every year, how could it be possible to notice each and every one of them?
At that moment, Zero stood there silently, her eyes devoid of any color, only her beating heart suggested that she was not a mannequin.
She gazed at the nearby floor-to-ceiling window, the glass reflecting her own silhouette.
