At the entrance to the ninth floor, the two elderly men opened their eyes, casting their gaze upon Karl Foreman, then upon Kohen Neal and the others.

They dared not obstruct him.
Concerns about gender differences no longer held sway over these ancestors, who had witnessed the passage of countless years.
