BIA Ch. 25
Cedric’s mansion was said to have been built by his now-deceased father, Liam Kalisz, forty years ago. (According to Chester,) at that time, Liam was the leader of the Irish mob that controlled the eastern United States, and his house was always bustling with Irish immigrants seeking help. Following the Irish proverb, “The only way to heaven is through giving,” Liam always invited guests to his home to dine together and enjoyed grand dinner parties, and this enormous kauri wood table was made purely…-

“Okay, then shall we see our special hitman’s skills?” Chester, who had been excitedly chatting for a while, suddenly rolled up his sleeves and pointed to a beech tree in the distance. “Try hitting that tree.” “Oh, I left the bullets behind.” “Sorry.” Isaiah apologized in a tone that conveyed no regret. “What? Why?” “Because I’m scared.” Chester blinked, as if thinking, What kind of bullshit is this?, and then began to rage like a madman. “Is this…-

“What do you mean?” Isaiah looked at Bran with a puzzled expression. “It’s my story. Why wouldn’t I need to know?” “Because it would be better for you not to know when dealing with Chester.” “Such nonsense…” Isaiah muttered in bewilderment. “Then consider it on hold. It’s just that you don’t need to know right now. You will find out on your own when the time comes.” Bran seemed to have no intention of telling him anything. That was unsettling. More so than…-

"Haven't you read that book? Slaughterhouse-Five?" "I have." "Then why?" "I just felt like revisiting it after a long time." Bran tossed the book into his rifle case. He disassembled the rifle he had assembled, placed it back in the case and then stuffed a pistol into the remaining empty space. Isaiah was taken aback by Bran’s action of stuffing four empty pistols into the case. “Why are you taking all of that?” “Because I need them.” Bran answered curtly and closed the lid…-

BIA Ch. 21
When Isaiah had just exited the bedroom, Bran was standing by the kitchen table. “Why is this crumpled?” He asked, pointing at the receipt on the table. “Oh, that. Chester crumpled it.” “Did Chester see it?” “Yes. But he doesn’t know you left that note. He just thinks it was from some guy I met at the club.” Bran picked up the receipt on the table. He glanced once at the message he had written and placed it back down. “I see.” Isaiah had thought Bran would head…-

“Oh, by the way, Dr. Aren't you going to tell me what I said during the hypnosis test? I’m actually curious about that.” Isaiah deliberately spoke in a bright tone, not liking how the atmosphere was getting too heavy. “Hm, I don’t usually share that. We might conduct another hypnosis test later and it could affect the results.” “I see…” “That’s right. However, some of that content was mixed into the questions I asked today. Though Isaiah wouldn’t…-

He became especially affectionate whenever Isaiah cried. Last night was also like that. He offered words of comfort with an uncharacteristically gentle manner. But that wasn't why he had cried. He hadn't shed tears because he wanted to hear kind words of comfort from Bran. Bran's words were probably correct. Although he wasn't conscious of it, he was probably in a state of heightened emotions due to the hypnosis test. When he thought that the story within the story, that is, Isaiah Diaz's story,…-

Day 2 When he woke up in the morning, there were twenty-two missed calls from overnight. Two numbers had taken turns calling. One of them was Manny and the other… “Chester, I guess.” Bran said, pouring coffee into a mug. Also. Isaiah groaned and threw his phone on the table. “That smartphone is Chester’s. He gave it to me, registered under his name, so he would have a direct line to me for this job.” Bran set two mugs of coffee he had poured onto the table. The mugs were the same…-

He was such an unnecessarily dedicated professional, Isaiah thought to himself with a mix of admiration and disbelief, when Bran suddenly asked. “Isaiah Diaz?” “Huh?” “Does Isaiah Diaz drink?” Isaiah thought for a moment and answered, “Hmm… Maybe.” “How much?” “Just, normally? Like other freshmen?” At Isaiah’s expression, Bran laughed as if it were absurd. “How much is ‘like other freshmen’? Most of the freshmen I know were addicted to…-

BIA Ch. 16
He knew. Isaiah Cole on his side was helpful. That meant that Isaiah Cole who was not on his side or Isaiah Diaz, who was on his side but couldn't even shoot a gun, wouldn't be helpful. Suddenly, it crossed his mind that Bran might be the type to quietly eliminate him without anyone noticing if he failed to recover his memories by the time the successor was announced. But… “Huh, Isaiah?” He had no choice. If this guy and that guy were the same, he had no choice but to side with the one who…-
