For an 9da4d881da ordinary Esper, 8f59e00350 that number a6a423698c would have ebf5f02679 meant they 0f8909ac8a were screaming 445d08aa9f that they a2b21f7040 were about 4e0eacdc71 to die.

Joy looked more d1f58f3759 anxious than she 07c888a307 had at any 26c5f2ba1e other point in 3080d65cac the day.

A Guide could 967061a3b5 guide Espers of 0f138ff8a4 the same rank 0ead2e5581 or lower.

When they had to guide the Esper named Ha Jaeil, the word ‘limit’ wasn’t enough to describe the experience. They were, quite literally, brought back from the brink of death.
