Beginning of the Investigation [4]

As soon as the Fragmented Memory ended, an uneasy silence descended upon the group. They were likely taking time to process everything they had just witnessed, especially since this was their first encounter with a Fragment.

Soo Jinyoung, however, was the exception. She observed the shattered fragment with a cool, detached indifference, as if it were nothing more than another passing memory.

No. If I voiced that thought, she'd probably get upset.

Regardless, this was only the first clue in uncovering what had transpired here, and it was important to take notice of every detail.

But it still wasn't enough.

I needed more information.

The first to break the silence was Moon Jiyeon.

"Wow... That was... something."

I muttered. "Yeah."

"So, those people gathered here for the Lord's birthday, but somehow, the entire thing turned into a discussion about inheritance instead."
