Qasim glanced back at the child in the cage.
His eyes became strange and cold.
"Did this experiment fail? ...There's nothing I can do. I have to be more careful next time. I can't afford to lose too many."

The boy with long black hair was squatting in the corner, holding a black kitten he had picked up.
