I stumbled backward and fell. I landed on my butt, but the shock was greater than the pain.
The guy in front of my eyes right now was Lucian Vane, short in stature with a cowlick twitching.
He grinned maliciously.
"What are you doing, being such a pathetic wimp? No wonder you're treated like a gigolo."
"...You're me, aren't you? Why are you doing this?"
"To be precise, I'm the past you once abandoned and refused to acknowledge. How about it?"
"Th-that's really true? How could such things...?"
"Don't we look like twins when you see us like this? Not that it's funny."
Lucian chuckled cynically. He sighed and then gestured to me.
"Alright, I won't use Dawn specifically."
Sticking Dawn into the ground, he provoked me.
"Come on, come on."
"You want to fight...?"
"If you truly intend to fight and seize something. If you think you have the right to."
"...You think I'm a cripple, you son of a bitch!"
