In one world, a brother was against a brother to save the life of a stranger who had become no less than his family. Meanwhile in another world, a friend had killed his friend, all to protect his nephew.
After killing Ryder, Janus left the room, closing the door behind him. With slightly hesitant steps, he went down the stairs. With Ryder's death only Nyx was left to kill.
After Janus reached downstairs, he caught the attention of Ryder's wife.
"I was just about to come upstairs to call you both. The dinner is ready," the seemingly kind woman told Janus. "You can take the seat. I'll call him down."
"There's no need to call him down. I just met him. And he told me to convey that he won't be having dinner tonight. He's immersed in some research and doesn't want to take any time off," Janus told the woman, worried that she might find the lifeless body in the room.
