Mumbling to himself, Alex continued to stare at the woman in the photo. He could tell from the white coat that she was a researcher.

Based on his parents' occupations, he could tell that she was a member of the Genetic Research Institute in Mendel, but he just felt that she looked familiar and didn't know who she was.

"Who is this?"

Alex, who couldn't remember, muttered to himself again.

This time, Alex took out the photo separately, took the photo in his hand, looked at the person in the photo carefully, and then put it in his pocket.

Continue to look for other things in the box.

After searching for a long time, he didn't find anything that made him feel like there was a clue, so he had to give up searching here.

Standing up, he took out the photo in his pocket again.

"This may be a clue, maybe it will be useful later!"

After saying that, Alex repacked the photo and left the storage room.

Leave here,

Alex returned to the room to wash and sleep.

The next day

Alex was awakened by the ringing.

He picked up the phone on the bedside table with sleepy eyes and looked at the incoming call number on it, and his sleepiness dissipated a lot.

‘Why does Siegel Klein always call me? ’

With a puzzled look, his finger pressed the answer button.

“Hello! Speaker Siegel, are you okay?”

“Are you still not up?”

A gentle voice like the concern of an elder at home sounded.

Listening to Siegel’s words, Alex got up and said on the phone.

“It’s finally my turn to rest, so I naturally need to rest for a while, so I thought about getting up later.”

“I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

The voice seemed to be a little apologetic.

Alex complained in his heart.

‘Of course you disturbed my sweet dream.’

While complaining inwardly, he replied out loud.

“No.”

“You are such a nice person!”

Joking and praising, Siegel said on the phone.

“Do you have time today?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Alex looked at the clock and replied immediately.

Siegel spoke again for this.

“In that case, accompany me to visit the families of the fallen soldiers?”

“Okay, no problem.”

Alex was puzzled by this behavior, but he did not refuse the Speaker’s proposal.

After hanging up the phone, Alex went into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, he found a more formal outfit in the closet.

He put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

…………

District 1 of Martius City

A family of a deceased ZAFT soldier

“I’m sorry, I failed to protect your children.”

Sitting in front of the family members, Siegel's face was filled with sadness, and he apologized with guilt. The two heard Siegel's words, wiped their tears and shook their heads.

"Speaker, this is not your fault. My son is a warrior of the ZAFT Army. It is his mission to defend PLANT. We are proud of him."

The pride in the words was finally pierced by the tears left in his eyes.

Alex, who followed here, turned his head away from this emotion. Seeing such emotions made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Captain Alex, my son regarded you as an idol when he was alive. Can we ask you for an autograph and a photo?"

A request called Alex.

Turning his head and looking at the pleading on the faces of the two, Alex could not find any reason to refuse. He nodded to the two, and then took out a marker pen to sign a note they took out.

After signing, he watched the two take out the photo of his son. Alex didn't show any disdain or feel offended, and cooperated with the photo.

After receiving the autograph and the photo, the two bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Captain Alex."

"You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Listening to such thanks, Alex felt very uncomfortable. He felt ashamed to hear the thanks!

After leaving this house,

Alex followed Siegel to the next one.

"Alex, I'm sorry to let you follow me to do these things."

On the way

Siegel said with an apologetic look on his face.

Alex looked at Siegel and shook his head.

"Speaker, this is what I should do. You don't have to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should thank you for letting me see these."

After speaking, Alex turned his head and looked out the window.

He held his chin with one hand, and his face was no longer smiling as usual. Siegel looked at Alex, and a fleeting smugness flashed across his lips.

This smug smile quickly disappeared, and no one could notice the smile on Siegel's face.

In the next house

Alex saw a young woman holding a baby in her arms. Judging from the child's appearance, it should not have been born for long.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell us. We will give you all the help we can."

"It's pretty good now, Speaker."

The woman held the child and shook her head.

After replying, the child in the woman's arms started crying. The crying made the woman have to comfort the child with all her heart and soul, and apologized to Siegel while comforting the child.

"Sorry, Speaker, I have to comfort the child here, so I can't entertain you."

"We are disturbing you."

Siegel replied to the woman very gently.

After saying goodbye, Siegel led Alex away from here.

…………

At night

Back to the shuttle in Aprilius City

Alex sat in his seat as usual, holding his chin with one hand and looking outside. Siegel looked at Alex and said nothing.

Just quietly looked at the newspaper in his hand.

Alex looked at the universe outside, turned his head and looked at Siegel. Thinking of what he saw and heard today and his inner emotional fluctuations, Alex suddenly felt like he had suddenly realized something.

‘As expected of someone who can work with Patrick to make PLANT independent, this move is very good! ’

Alex, who figured it out, couldn’t help but praise Siegel for this move beautifully.

Using this kind of condolence behavior to let him see the situation of the families of the fallen, so that the seeds were planted in his heart. Let this seed slowly germinate, and eventually pull him into the conservative faction.

This silent action is hard to guard against!

If he hadn't reacted, he might have been led by the nose by this old fox.

Thinking through all this, Alex became more alert to Siegel, and at the same time, he vividly remembered the emotions and expressions of the deceased family members in his mind.

These contents were played like slides.

Under such contents, Alex's face once again showed calm sadness, and he didn't think about anything else and quietly returned to his previous state.

In the airport

"Alex, thank you for accompanying me today."

"Speaker, you flatter me. This is what I should do."

Alert Alex, perfunctorily replied to Siegel, and his inner clarity was well restrained.

Siegel didn't notice any abnormal behavior.
