Section 1267: Re-encounter with Baroque

The audience gradually exited the seats.

At that moment, Baruba turned his head, his eyes downcast, hiding the melancholy in his gaze, "David is probably backstage now; shall we go find him?"

Angel nodded and walked with Baruba towards the stage, neither of them speaking along the way. He knew well that with Baruba's personality, it was better to pretend not to see and leave him a garden to lick his wounds alone than to offer consolation and uncover his scars, making him embarrassed.

Often, revealing scars could allow old scars to heal and new flesh to grow. However, this is only possible if there's a solution for the old scars. Otherwise, revealing them would only add new injuries to old ones.

The contestant area backstage was not connected to the audience seating, so to enter, they had to jump into the arena's passageway.

No sooner had they vaulted over than they were stopped by two staff members in Sky Tower uniforms.
