Six stared blankly at the figure before her...
Mono's appearance was almost no different from usual... but those eyes were a field of white light. Not white in the pure sense of color, but a void that seemed to contain nothing.
The eyes seemed to hold nothing.
Indifference had devoured everything.
From within, not a trace of light or emotion could be seen.
But at the same time, these utterly emotionless eyes felt so... terrifying.
Doing nothing at all, showing no fluctuation, just quietly gazing. Yet, it made one feel as if, at any moment, they could be destroyed, could be killed.
Extreme pessimism seemed to well up uncontrollably from the heart.

The owner of the eyes seemed... not to care about... anything...
Six snapped out of it, walked over, and looked at Mono with some nervousness.
"Mono... what's wrong?"
It was strange; she didn't feel the slightest bit afraid of Mono's 'destroy everything' gaze.
As her voice sounded, Mono's gaze slowly fell onto her face.
Visible to the naked eye... the white light gradually faded...
The restored pitch-black eyes flickered with inexplicable shock and joy...
A trembling voice came: "Six... you... you're not dead?" Six looked at Mono's reaction with confusion:
"Mono's words are so strange..."
Wasn't she standing right here...
She still wanted to ask something, but before she could open her mouth, her hand was grasped. Then her body was suddenly hugged tightly.
She was stunned.
Mono... took the initiative to hug her?
Just as she was puzzled: "Ah~ ha~ haha, I knew it, Six, you wouldn't be in trouble. That's... really great."
Mono's voice came by her ear.
It seemed like he was laughing, but it also seemed like... crying.
Six was stunned again.
Mono's behavior was really... so strange...
Time passed...
When everything gradually calmed down...
In the darkness, two figures sat quietly by the fireplace. Their gazes occasionally met...
But Mono felt somewhat... embarrassed.
He had actually... been affected by his own negative emotions just now.
Moreover, it had triggered some abnormal physical changes. For him, this was absolutely a disgrace.
Why couldn't he control his emotions?
He was a Transmigrator, with strong mental power and incredibly firm willpower. He hadn't been afraid even when facing Mono.
But just now, he had actually been controlled by his emotions due to a small misunderstanding, losing... rationality.
This was truly unbelievable.
Had his willpower already begun to weaken?
Or was there something else influencing him?
Or was it that he cared about Six...
Impossible...
Mono shook his head.
How could that be?
He was a rational person; he would never act unreasonably due to emotional perception.
So, absolutely not.
It must be... the system controlling him.
Yes, there was no other explanation besides that.
This utterly useless system was indeed here to screw him over.
Mono had found a reasonable explanation for himself.
But... he still felt awkward, and... embarrassed.
Especially when he heard the soft, intermittent laughter by his ear, this feeling grew even stronger.
He had completely lost face for Transmigrators.
Just as he was thinking this, another soft laugh came to his ear.
Mono's mouth twitched.
The laughter came from the small figure beside him.
Six was laughing. Isn't that strange?
Six, who had never laughed before, was actually laughing?
Isn't that strange?
Especially this kind of laugh—occasionally glancing at someone with her eyes, then withdrawing her gaze, covering her mouth with her hand, her eyes narrowed into slits, her shoulders slightly shaking.
