The Emperor set a three-day limit for the end of the hunt. If someone didn't return within three days, they would be disqualified.
Today marked the second day since the participants entered the forest. However, Ellie's heart grew more anxious for unknown reasons. She felt uneasy watching Cassius enter the forest.

"Ellie? What's going on with you? Your mind seems to be elsewhere."
Magda furrowed her brow at her restless cousin, and so did Ethan.
