"Hmm? Where is he?"
As soon as he stepped inside the BrokenHeart Tavern, drunken people welcomed him and sluggishly faced him with soulless eyes.
They instantly lost their interest in him as they focused on themselves, drowning in the rounds of sorrows while gulping the alcohol in a single breath.
It was certainly a place where people had an emotional breakdown, making Nick feel uncomfortable by it.
Aside from feeling uncomfortable, he also pitied them, judging their condition. He even has a thought of his future self in the same situation they were in.
The sudden emergence of negative thinking affected his mood.
'Let's toss aside those unnecessary thoughts right now, Nick.' Nick thought to himself. 'What is most important is to find Ryo here.'
He swept his eyes and saw the bartender, not even glancing a gaze at him.
He seemed to be not much in a worse condition than any others present.
