Kellen didn't have to search far for Brent. He'd only made one stop outside of the cafeteria before he found him.
Granted, it wasn't anywhere near where he had expected to find him, but it did make his job easier.
Brent came out of one of the guiding rooms near the research department with an Esper that Kellen assumed was one of the researchers deeper in the lab since he couldn't recognise their face. It was apparently not the first time the two had guided either, since Brent was able to smile and joke with them, almost as himself.
It was…nice to see Brent like this. Especially after the mood he'd had so far today.
