About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Mostima is seen teasing Orson after finding him alone in Exusiai's apartment, hinting at his feelings for her. While Orson wants to tidy the room and spend more time with Exusiai, Mostima is firm in dismissing his requests. Their exchange reveals Mostima's enjoyment in teasing Orson about his alias, "Northern Territory’s Silence," and she playfully expresses her interest in hearing his thoughts, indicating a connection between them. This playful banter escalates when Mostima suddenly kisses Orson, leaving him flustered and confused about her intentions. Later, Orson is depicted in a conversation with Dr. Kelsey, where he inquires about the potential side effects of his blood after he unknowingly transfused it to save Lappland. Kelsey warns him of withdrawal symptoms that could arise in the recipient, and their discussion indicates Orson's concern and protective nature. Afterward, Orson has a phone call with Rose Marry, who shares her excitement about passing an elite operator test, displaying a brotherly relationship. Orson's thoughts then turn to the encounter with Mostima, which he finds bewildering, and he resolves to focus on his work at the Guard Bureau. The chapter concludes with Orson disguising himself as "Delivery Person Otto" to carry out surveillance duties for Ch'en, who seems to be facing pressure from a superior, Chief Marco, regarding her compassionate approach toward the infected citizens of Longmen. The tension between her ideals and the harsh realities of their roles creates an undercurrent of conflict as Orson continues his covert investigations, sensing that something important may have been overlooked.
