Posessed [1]

A few moments prior; Hollowe's residence.

After Hollowe's words, a strange silence followed. Keeper Matthias eventually broke the silence by shaking his lowered head. 

"Is something wrong?" 

"....No, I was just thinking of something." 

Matthias covered his mouth to hide his smile. He could still distinctively recall the events that transpired back in the medical ward. In particular, he recalled Atlas's lack of reaction when he tried to reach out to Julien. 

The one who had gone up and stood for Julien was the Chancellor. 

'What an interesting situation.'

Was Atlas's lack of reaction because he didn't care, or was it that Julien wasn't really a spy? 

It was an interesting thing to think about. 

He raised his head and looked at Hollowe. 

"How certain are you that he's a spy?" 

"...Not entirely certain. It's just an idea for now." 

"Just an idea, huh?"
