"...So in the end, we really only ended up meeting one person. Turns out, everyone else we met was not even real. They were merely a product of Velar's loneliness and idea of not wanting to be alone during his last moments."
I listened quietly as Evelyn sat in the snow, her arms resting on her knees while she stared blankly into the distance.
Her voice was soft, forcing me to strain my ears to listen to her.
"It's surprising, right? Neither of us noticed how they were fake. Even when I injected my mana inside their body, I didn't realize it. But turns out, Velar was using their real body and injecting his mana into them to replicate the feeling of warmth. He also used the ice built up inside their body to make them move. By controlling the ice, he could control their movements and make it seem like they were alive. Honestly, I've never seen anyone with such fine control over their element."
