Chapter 63: No Longer Actor
0
The other remaining component of Inle’s upper fuselage took most of the damage under the impact of the explosion, and after protecting its master, it was finally forced to separate from the fuselage and fly off to nowhere. Hyzenthlays’s functions were almost destroyed, but fortunately, the cockpit was almost undamaged.

The wrecked Hyzenthlays did a uniform linear motion in the zero resistance vacuum, and its twenty tons of weight smashed many rocks along the way, changing speed and direction with it, and becoming more broken itself. After flying like that for an unknown period of time, it finally hit a huge piece of satellite debris and was robbed of its last kinetic energy. The remaining of Inle floated slowly in the empty universe.

“So we’ve finally stopped?” The sudden shock was not weakened even after being transmitted to the cockpit. Ade unbuckled the somewhat unpleasantly strangled seatbelt and stood up straight to casually move around a bit. He tried to release his NT perception to the maximum, however, there was nothing in his sense, “Where am I now?”

“Radar and communications are down, Ade.” Alice said listlessly, “The posture control vents didn’t survive either, I don’t know where we are drifting to.”
0
“That’s the problem.” He looked at the broken display screen, “The cameras are also all burned, I can’t see anything. Alice, is there anything we can use in the whole Hyzenthlays?”
0
“There are no more features that can help us survive.” Alice said sadly, “I’m sorry, Ade.”
0
“Why do you have to apologize? It’s not Alice’s fault.” He tried to correct Alice’s self-blaming statement, “You should say ‘I’m still being good’ at this time, so I’ll be happy.”
0
“Well … there’s still me being good?”

“Yes, that’s the best news of all.” He fumbled back to his seat and checked the dashboard, “The oxygen reserve is less than twenty hours, it is better not to waste oxygen to go out and take a look, anyway, there is no use to look. I just don’t know if it’s hard to die of asphyxiation …”
0
“If Ade died,” Alice hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively in a soft voice, “Can you–“
0
“I will do it when it’s time.” He interrupted Alice’s words. This is too cruel to let her say it herself, “If I can’t find any chance to survive, I will turn you off at the last moment. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and it’s true that for both of us, the one who dies first is the luckier one, right? I want Alice to be the lucky one.”
0
“… Thanks, Ade.”
0
He didn’t know how to answer because he was scared too. He was just pretending to be calm, at least, he couldn’t make a disgraceful appearance in front of Alice, so he decided to hold on a little longer, at least until the oxygen ran out, and that would be the last moment for him to turn Alice off.

Lacus kept correcting the coordinates with her vague sense, and the spaceship moved forward under her instructions.
0
She could sense that Ghingham and even Shinn didn’t believe her, just saw her as a woman who became hysterical after the loss of her lover, and didn’t stop her because of courtesy or sympathy. It doesn’t matter, she even acts more hysterical on purpose, she just wants results.
0
Lacus could not sense any other people at all, and did not understand at all what the so-called NT radar was, but she really felt that she could feel the general direction of Ade, and could even feel his courage and his fear. It is this Ade that makes her feel very real and very warm.
0
She lost her country, lost her career, lost her only family. She did not lie to Ade, he really is her last place to stay. This feeling is certainly not pure, she has no experience of love, but she never felt that she would have any pure love, and never wanted to be the heroine of a romance story.
0
There was gratitude, dependence, appreciation, exploitation, and even self-hypnosis under no choice, all of which were familiar to her. Then eliminate these, the only thing left unfamiliar is her free will, right?
0
But he never understood or did not want to understand it. It is probably in the nature of men to avoid choices? It doesn’t matter, she has confidence in herself, and it’s fun to watch someone you like gradually begin to like you.

It was as if she was back to the perfect three-step plan she made, and now, she was already on the third step. Although the order was reversed, at least, neither the male nor the female protagonist has left the stage, and she wanted to finish the story.
