“Friend,” Jinji repeated.
Henry chuckled softly, unbothered. “Not the
dangerous kind, if that’s what you’re asking. I fix
broken things. Sometimes they happen to be
people.” He leaned closer to the mic. “And I’d say
that line’s no accident. MP is Mirror Protocol. Luz
isn’t random either. Algarve coast. ‘Luz’ means
light.”
Jinji’s silence lingered long enough to be felt, not
just heard
Carolina’s breath caught. “And the cliffs?”
Jinji didn’t answer right away.
