(Zet entered without a word. Alia lifted her head) — “Why haven’t you killed me?” — “Because you’re not him.” — “Who?” (He met her eyes) — “Your father. He stole minds from the living. My project. My life.” (Alia went pale) — “That’s not true…” (Zet stepped closer) — “Ask him how many lives his empire cost.”
