Unexpected Betrayal      

As Xin and the others explored Yama-mura, they found themselves immersed in various quests offered by the villagers. 

The tasks ranged from helping with farm work to assisting in the Grand Market, adding a sense of purpose to their journey.

Amidst their quests, Seraphim raised a concern about the whereabouts of the rest of the group. "Shouldn't we be hurrying to the exit? The others might already be there, you know," she commented.

Victor was annoyed, and retorted, "If you're so concerned about them, maybe you should go on ahead. And why are you following us in the first place anyway? We're no longer a group, remember? You're free to go." 

Victor couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something about Seraphim didn't sit well with him, as if she were his greatest enemy or something.

Undeterred, Seraphim sweetly smiled behind her cloak. "Well, someone seems to be angry."
