Ira shook his head helplessly. He looked at Vera, whose eyes seemed to have turned into mosquito coils, shook his head to shake off a certain image from his mind, and said, "Okay, your expression right now is a lot like Isabella's, but she always tries harder to absorb knowledge than you."
"..."
Vera was taken aback by these words. She looked at Ira, who spoke with a nonchalant tone, and said, "You seem to have let it go... No, Ira, you were never angry about Isabella's betrayal?!"
Seeing Vera's shock, Ira, who hadn't expected her to bring this up, was also taken aback for a moment, then calmly nodded and said, "Indeed, because I know Isabella never intended to kill me; it's just that things have taken a turn for the worse by some external forces."

"What exactly are the dreams you described to them?!"
Faced with Vera's loud and confused questioning, Ira was unable to give a specific answer.
"Me, Yusser, Isabella, everything we did was to realize my dream. If you ask, that's all I can tell you..."
