"It's not that they don't exist, rather people just prioritize their survival over anything else. It's a deeply ingrained belief.", Taiga answered while observing Nimah.
"You see, big bro researched and discovered that this centipede thing has likely been alive since the very beginning of the Citadel which explains how it got so big. From what we have learned, the first group ever to survive being swallowed took refuge in the Small Intestines over a hundred years ago. They were the first generation, the ones who created the rules and taught them to those who followed. The second generation then made sure the third also followed in their footsteps and the third did the same to the fourth. See what I'm trying to say?

How can you convince so many people to change the only way of life that they have known for so long?", he looked at Akarui and asked.
