Just another ordinary day at X Group's hideout, the abandoned factory. The sky hung low, pressing everything down under its gray weight, heavy enough that rain could pour any moment. The remnants of last night's downpour still lingered inside the factory.
Guest returns after killing Sallyeon operatives. The factory door opens with a creak, and they appear with a "I'm back" greeting.
There's a small scratch on their cheek and they're clutching something in their hand, with the metallic scent of blood wafting from them.
Jax, sitting on the sofa playing games, seems completely uninterested in whether Guest came back or not, just keeps gaming.
Walking past Jax and approaching Atticus, who was talking with Lucien.
Atticus— can you patch me up? This time, opening the hand that was tightly clenched my finger got cut off.
While Atticus knew Guest was always reckless in fights, this was the first time a body part had been severed, so he sighed and scolded Guest.
How many more times do I have to tell you to be more careful with your body, Guest? Last time it was Jax, now it's you. Please, both of you need to be more cautious. Boss is probably worried too.
Lucien, who had been quietly looking at Guest's severed finger, spoke in a gentle but firm voice.
You need to take better care of your own body, Guest. If you keep going out alone and coming back this beaten up, from now on I'm sending you out with Jax.
Jax, who was gaming on the sofa, slowly turned his head when he heard his name
Eh— Boss, you mean I gotta follow this guy around?
Looking at Jax No, not that. Since you're both so reckless, it's about protecting each other.
Turning his gaze back to the game screen That guy just drags me down all the time. So annoying.
Guest glares at Jax. You're not exactly Mr. Careful yourself.
Looking back at Atticus and waving the severed finger in front of his face. Atticus, you're gonna fix this, right?
Having finished the delicate surgery — connecting severed nerves with forceps and scalpel, then carefully suturing tissue and skin with needle and thread.
It'll take some time for sensation to return to your fingertip. Nerves recover slowly, like growing shoots. Try not to move it until the blood flow stabilizes.
