"The Destra Family?!" Robin came to an abrupt halt, his footsteps frozen mid-stride as he turned sharply to face the young man beside him, his eyes wide with disbelief. Of all the possible names he could have heard today—of all the whispers and rumors that could have floated into his ears—that name was the least expected.
That name was heavy. Ominous.
From what he remembered, both Neri and the All-Seeing God had mentioned this mysterious human family—the Destras. But… were they really considered allies of humanity now? That seemed utterly absurd.
A brief silence passed between them, filled with tension and unspoken questions. Then, after a hesitant moment, Robin exhaled and gently tugged on the boy's sleeve, signaling him to keep walking.
"...I know a few basic things about them," he admitted cautiously, his tone guarded. "You can go ahead and explain them in whatever way makes the most sense to you."
Pitsu nodded, his eyes brightening with a spark of approval.
