"Ryan," Aria called out to him again, her voice a little louder this time, trying to break through the trance-like state he seemed to be in. But before she could say anything else, Ryan's voice cut through the air, his words sending a shockwave through Aria's entire body.
"He's my uncle," Ryan said,low and even, but with a hint of emotion underlying it. He was still staring at Director Arlo,. Aria felt like she had been punched in the gut, her eyes widened in shock as she heard Ryan say that.
She felt like she was stuck in a nightmare, unable to wake up. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Ryan's uncle? The man who was standing in front of them, smiling and welcoming, was Ryan's uncle?, the same uncle that Ryan said started the apocalypse. It didn't make any sense.
