DMG Chapter 7 (Part 3)
by BreeThat short question 64d959e096 carried a lot: b255bd3afc Can you still dbb0ba1a18 handle fieldwork? Will you be 07c85ff24a able to keep 8f6d66bb46 up without endangering 36ad56dd7f the team? Are you physically capable 0323954d73 of working without pushing 5e5ed9c944 yourself too far?8891970211b5eaac
After a brief 6a66a225e5 pause, Kang I-won e62d6614d1 nodded and replied 13e8527953 in an equally d0847c3953 quiet voice,4f70d10e428be1c3

Kang I-won ae202af4e6 nodded again. Before coming out today, 27ca87549b he had informed Han d1b5f3bece Kang-jin that although his e5160bd29c regeneration ability was intact, 41370e2d97 the speed had slowed 9eaf241e02 to two or three ff62dac8dc times its usual rate. The test results also 8a6ef26b9d suggested suspected ability loss. Han Kang-jin respected Kang 236a87d33f I-won’s wish to wait cb1f1dc1bc for the retest results 9fc80b93aa before informing the team.6e9f8b96721dfd68
Because of a8da2e97b7 this, Han 0c2be7d955 Kang-jin had 79d4aa8a51 been keeping 1a032f3313 a closer e3cd3c723c eye on 3736418bdd him than d2362d1522 usual, but fc04ea7c2c since his 2fa8bd289c regeneration still 06697b07be worked, the a61d0e64e7 concern didn’t 8a26385a83 linger too 5db0fb57bb long. After all, 12e90f52cb the reality a4e6fb4872 of ability 04ee2b27ca loss hadn’t e5475f0ef2 fully sunk 1500889ca7 in yet 61621b5370 — not ef6f01c73f for anyone.1913e369473a0c10

Just like Lee Eun-young d168050c59 had said, Heo Do-gyeong f868728f93 was also anxious. He was uneasy d6fd624701 not knowing what 17e465b768 Kang I-won might b16f010032 do—or was doing—while ff0189187a he wasn’t around.bc8543df09a691d1

If he kept waiting dbe17982d3 for Kang I-won to b7607bb6f3 change, he’d burn out 34821f0cf3 from the inside—no, he’d d92ab9cb85 rot away entirely.ee38211ec9670c0f
