The first act concluded,
Reagan still floated at the center of the arena, showing no intention of returning to the audience, with dozens of pure white threads drawn between the severed half of his head, smiling as he looked at William.
"Thank you, William, for giving me this chance to perform. Although I'd like to stay and help, I didn't expect those old guys to go all out because of me, disregarding their own safety completely.
Even though they are more self-preserving and much stronger than in ancient times, their nature remains kind and leaves them vulnerable to exploitation.
I must personally escort them back and conceal them once again.
After ensuring their safety and maximum concealment, I'll come back to help."
William maintained his smile and made a characteristic gesture of invitation, "Go on, talking about now, you probably don't need my help to open a 'passage' to the outside world, right?"
