Suppression : Simmering

After a relatively short flight, Will found himself at the VIP entrance of the largest stadium ever built, a megalithic, dome-shaped structure more than two kilometers wide at the base. It was purported to be able to seat more than a million spectators, but even with general admissions being free, it generally held between 200,000~500,000 as Axial's static population was only around seven million inhabitants.

"Lyra! You made it~!" exclaimed Caldaria, awaiting the group's arrival with the bespectacled Ulia, who, to Will, resembled an owl.

Making her way over to Lyra, Caldaria placed her hands on the Princess's waist before giving her a light peck on both cheeks. Then, turning to Will, she adopted a cheeky grin and remarked, "You ready to enter somewhere most boys can only picture in their dreams?"

"Do I have a choice...?" asked Will, his expression and tone neutral, giving off the impression he would rather be elsewhere.
