"Professor, are there any habitable planets other than ours? Perhaps where aliens or people similar to us are staying?" Lucas asked hopefully.
Other than clarifying the truth behind his dream, he also wanted to find a way to return to his planet. If the man before him knew something, perhaps there was a possibility for him to go home.
Professor Finn's brows jumped, and his hands trembled for a moment. But he composed himself before anyone could notice.
"May I know why you are asking me this?" he enquired, pushing his glasses up to take a good look at Lucas.
Lucas fidgeted when he met the man's scrutinizing gaze. There was something in his wise eyes that made him antsy. It was as if the man saw right through him, and all his secrets were bare before him.
"I'm curious, Professor Finn."
"And why are you suddenly curious?" The old man didn't bend that easily. He continued to force Lucas into a corner, compelling him to disclose everything in his mind.
