Evelyn and Calidora came here with many expectations inside their heads.
A lot of what's in their heads was quite the bad news.
Considering that the Second Breath happened recently—most of their expectations revolved around that phenomenon. It might be mutated animal hordes, that were spotted or even very powerful mutated animals appearing suddenly.
But the news turned out to be way out of their expectations.
None of their expectations even come close to what the news really was.
As Ken said those words, the entire room fell into a grave silence.
Sofas, chairs, and tables stood as silent witnesses to the unfolding moment as the room's air turned jarringly tense. Evelyn and Calidora were stunned in disbelief, both unable to properly process the words just spoken.
Only the hum of the air conditioners pierced the choking silence.
A cold, mechanical reminder of the harsh reality settling over them like a suffocating shroud.
