Alex, Alice, Ann, and Luna stood at the side as they watched Clare wail.
She kept muttering things like: 'Did they really do it?', 'What did we ever do to them', 'Why do we even have this power?', and so on.
They could tell that she was sad, it was as clear as day, but they could hear unwillingness and weakness in her voice.
It was as if she was devastated by the discovery, but she was unable to do something.
It was like she wanted revenge, but she was too weak to get it.
Alex, who was confused about her emotions, now had an inkling to what it could be, but for now, they ass decided to stay quiet.
Alex had barricaded the area with an air barrier the moment he asked Clare to watch the video.
He didn't know what was going to happen, but he knew that things could get out of hand.
So, he was prepared for the worst.
He was prepared for the minute chance that Clare really was a member of that group.
If that was the case, then the barrier would've stopped her from escaping.
But the barrier worked fine even in this situation since the others were not disturbed.
'I know for sure that she won't want her sister to look at her like this.'
Alex knew that Clare wouldn't want it, so the barrier worked well for this situation.

"Thank you..."
Clare muttered as she emptied the glass of water Ann gave her.
"Are you ok, now?"
Ann didn't reply to her thank you, she asked a question instead.
Clare looked down as she heard that question.
Her hand that was holding the glass trembled a bit, but it soon calmed down.
Clare took a deep breath and then nodded her head albeit still keeping her head down.
"...Yes, I'm fine now."
Clare muttered, causing them to shake their heads.
'That's clearly 'not fine'....' X4
But they didn't point it out.
It was Clare's problem, and it was not something they could consol about since they didn't even know what had happened.
Just then, Alex spoke.
"I don't know why you cried, and I don't know what you felt, but I know that it was anything other than pleasant...."
Alex spoke sympathetically, but then he added.
"However, I will still ask you this question: That ability was the same as yours, wasn't it?"
However, just as Alex said, he wasn't really suspicious of Clare, he just wanted to make sure.
He was more interested in the reason why Clare was crying earlier.
Something told him that it was related to Clare's past.
Clare, who heard Alex's words clenched her fists.
The girls and Alex saw that, and although none of them knew what had happened, they were sure that she was hurting.
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, he never said it was compulsory."
Alice moved close to Clare and patted her shoulder with a smile on her face.
Now that it was clear that Clare was not actually a spy, Alice didn't hold back.
Clare who heard Alice's words looked up and forced a smile.
"It's fine, crying over it is not going to change it anyway...."
Clare's lips trembled as she spoke those words, but the forced smile still remained on her face.
*Inhale*
Clare took a deep breath before she began.
"I told you guys before about my family's condition, right?"
Clare questioned as she looked at everyone simultaneously.
"That your family is being hunted down, yes."
Alex nodded his head.
"You sure don't hold back your words..."
Clare muttered as she heard Alex's words.
He could've just said 'yes', but he had to say it all.
"Ah, my bad...."
Alex realized his mistake and uttered with an apologetic smile.
"It's fine, and yes, just like you said, we are being chased down."
Clare paused a bit and took a deep breath again.
"However, not everyone is lucky like me and Cecil, many of us were caught by the people from that empire...."
Clare clenched her fist before she continued.
For her, talking about this was hard, her blood would boil the moment she tried to think about the only possibility that came to her mind, but she didn't stop.
"I once heard that they had someone who could devour their enemies and extract their abilities...."
