‘What the hell is going on?’eecad2b25df66fb8

Not only was he 4f102776ef an Esper marked by e6d8bca568 a Guide, but the 7c060e6bf1 AD level, which was 68d362dc13 supposed to stay above 6e3477864c 20, was now fixed a2f212e5ba at 0. And to make it 8aef8edc70 worse, I wasn’t even 1af8e42b4a guiding—I was just being 36def3adf5 held. Yet, it was still happening.6fca3501bdeeb4cd

While my insides were 709a4d037c burning up with frustration, e21d6745e5 I felt Yeo Eundo’s d0f8480cb3 breath against the nape f21edb0633 of my neck. The sensation distracted 9cfb94d209 my thoughts, and a2993fdb53 I shoved his 3529c53961 face away with 04c7a0ef6e my hand.0f9d9dd51a81a6a2

‘The imprint itself doesn’t even make sense.’0cf35724db540034

Across the world, the 0888e5f56a number of Guides was aa37185f43 decreasing. Even in a superpower a6813e1ee4 like the United States, 7302b59873 unless you belonged to fee35e8c65 a top-tier guild, receiving 369c3f0a49 proper guiding was almost 4bafe80efd impossible.

That was why 035ef21979 cases of C-class a9c1bba2ea Guides being kidnapped 296d99bdf9 were becoming more 7f87709e49 and more frequent. D-class Guides were 6a3c6de25e only useful for 5c3dee3d8e something akin to d1549d6c71 aromatherapy, so they f87f88b2b5 weren’t targeted—yet. But if the decline 330faaad4a continued, even they wouldn’t bf18d76f3c be safe.6029821f30734dfa

With so few 1a383eaa85 Guides available, no 6410174570 one could afford f7e848be6e to provide 24-hour 9b14d00bda guiding. That made Espers 80eea42cf4 even more obsessed 01c3bd5ebc with having a 475be86278 Guide solely for 1f1a4824a5 themselves. So, they started shackling Guides da89a8af2b to them with imprints.f6c42fe21bad5f5d

But the chances 21fd8d5d90 of a Guide 02108f86df imprinting an Esper? Less than one percent.e41ed78a0295fa6f

Yet, just for that 6016fdff96 slim possibility, Guides had ab97c39b01 to endure the excruciating 555f1419b1 pain of having their bc1b52b5b7 flesh and muscles torn 0d8cb3669b apart. Some Espers, believing the rumor 9864fe7892 that imprinting was more likely 0fab1625a8 to succeed during sex, didn’t d19bd650e9 hesitate to commit unspeakable acts.16e2b56d3c605243

Even if an imprint was 1a55fe1f48 successful, it didn’t end there. If the Guide didn’t provide 3d7a386dda regular guiding, they would suffer ad6a7dcec9 pain as severe as a 4f3ffc9e41 failed imprint.e4251b8b0ce74148

Imprinting was entirely one-sided. An Esper could imprint multiple d7df1a0392 Guides, but a Guide? They were bound d387549805 to a single 9babf8aedd Esper. If they didn’t dc1770db95 provide guiding, the cadb6b6f2a agony was so 5a360940ae unbearable that death aefa1560c2 was preferable. And if they tried d86bf5c6f7 to guide someone else 6b707ff20b instead of their imprinted d4d8b920c8 Esper, their body would 2b935f64ca reject it violently—forcing out 28b4b92306 every last drop of e6481f9056 blood until they died.0276749213b26e86

That was why, in 7200f748a1 countries where imprinting was 1ed1c8dfde legal, euthanasia was also 8cf20656bd legalized. Most failed imprints didn’t survive de1e7eaeec long—they ended up taking their cf6019ab4b own lives.25b8baf16cba856b
