Dominic was caught off guars by the intensity of his reaction, then quickly understood. His chest tightened with both anger and sympathy as he pressed him back down. “Don’t talk nonsense! Who’s here to arrest you? I’m here to take you with us! To Planet
A001!”
“Planet A001?” Norman froze, fear flooding his eyes even more. “Y–you’re… sending me into exile on Planet A001?”
In his mind, Planet A001 was a barren, remote place of exile.
“What exile? We’re sending you there for treatment!” Dominic said firmly. “There’s a farm on Planet A001. The natural food produced there can heal mental power damage! A lot of our injured soldiers have already gone, and they’re improving! The commander personally ordered us to find scattered veterans like you and send you there!”
Heal mental power damage?
A farm?
Natural food?
Norman was stunned. The information sounded completely absurd, far beyond anything he could comprehend.
But Dominic’s serious expression–and the words “personally ordered by the commander“-didn’t sound like a lie.
“I–is it really true?” His voice trembled.
“Absolutely true!” one of the soldiers beside Dominic couldn’t help adding. “Norman, the owner of that farm, is Commander Hewitt’s daughter–in–law! She’s incredible! A lot of our guys are counting on that place to survive!”
The Commander Hewitt’s daughter–in–law… If that was true…
His breathing quickened, and a light he hadn’t shown in years suddenly ignited in his eyes. He grabbed Dominic’s hand tightly and asked urgently, “Captain! Then, can it treat Sophia? My daughter… Her mental power isn’t damaged. It’s defective! It’s a congenital defect! Can it be treated?”
Dominic hesitated.
What they knew for certain was that it worked on damage. As for congenital defects… “Norman, for now, we can confirm it’s highly effective for repairing damaged mental power. Sophia’s condition…” He paused, then added quickly when he saw the hope fading from Norman’s eyes, “I can’t guarantee it. But we can try! What if it works? And even if it doesn’t fully cure her, the farm’s environment will help your recovery. You can work there and earn money. It’s still better than this hellhole! And if needed, you can save up and come back to Centria Planet for surgery later. But first, you need to survive. You need to stay alive for her.”
Those words–both hopeful and grounded–struck directly at the most fragile, realistic part of Norman’s heart.
Yeah, if he collapsed or died, what would happen to Sophia?
Go somewhere with even a sliver of hope first. He needed to stabilize himself and then plan the future. He didn’t hesitate much longer and nodded firmly.
“I go! Captain, I’ll go with you!”
Seeing him agree, Dominic let out a quiet breath of relief.

Norman immediately tried to get out of the medical pod, eager to pack his things. It was as if he could fly back to bring his wife and daughter at once.
But as he moved, his eyes caught Emmett standing quietly to the side. Emmett was genuinely happy for him, but deep in his gaze, there was an unmistakable trace of loneliness and envy.
Norman paused.
Emmett… This former Fifth Military soldier was his only friend in this hellish mine. The one who had pulled him back from the brink more times than he could count.
He was injured himself, yet he always looked after someone even worse off.
