It looked like we hadnât communicated well with each other, so there was such a big misunderstanding.

âFor your honesty this time, Iâll grant you forgiveness, you fool!â
Harlan smiled, relieved.
âThank you.

I feigned sternness and issued a calm warning.
âBut make no mistake, Harlan.

Harlanâs usual pride and self-assuredness left no room for such vulnerability.

As I suspected, he exhibited no signs of pain.

In a fit of rage, I hunkered down and reached out to open Harlanâs outer clothes.
To my bewilderment, he was clad in a suit of armor.
Even though he got shot, he remained unscathed.
