Wenzhi's expression hardened. "What are you talking about?"
Doctor Ruixin immediately pointed at the floating data screens around them.
"I have a theory." Her eyes practically sparkled. "That your compatibility with Xinyuan might be forcing your guide rank to evolution."
Wenzhi let out a short laugh. "You cannot be serious."
"It happens." Ruixin looked completely unfazed. She held up a finger. "Very rarely. Extremely rarely. Point one percent."
Wenzhi gave her a flat stare.
Ruixin sighed and turned fully toward him. "I know how ridiculous it sounds. But we've also never had a Disaster-Class Esper before."
Her eyes narrowed. "And we have definitely never had one imprint onto a guide with compatibility this abnormal."
Ruixin began pacing. "I need to ask something."
Wenzhi already regretted being here.
"Have you ever felt Xinyuan's emotions?"
Wenzhi frowned. The question caught him off guard.
He thought about it longer than he wanted to. "I'm not sure."
