Refreshing Before Going, Eh?

…

An hour ago, at the West Tower when the rainstorm had just begun...

Marco felt concerned whether he should continue their pursuit of Mr. Queaz.

“With the heavy downpour now, it’ll be tough to find that guy. But should we even really go?” Marco thought about it. He had doubts already. “Sir Sean sounded so sure, but he looked rather... forcing his ideas.”

“Mr. Marco...” Pio suddenly came close to him who was observing through the doorway to the skybridge.

But he did not respond. He’s deep in his thoughts.

“Mr. Marco... you’re confused... aren’t you?” she suddenly asked out of the blue.

But thanks to that, Marco got surprised.

“Wha-hey-wha?! Oh, Pio! You caught me off guard there. What is it?” he asked kindly, his right palm positioned behind his head.

Pio tilted her head slightly while glaring at him. Soon she asked him, “Are you in confusion, Mr. Marco?”

“Confusion? Well, yeah, I suppose...” Marco looked away for a moment. “Isn’t it obvious, tho?”
