From atop his cloud, Robin stumbled a step backward. His eyes looked ready to leap from his face, and the metal mask on his face trembled, nearly cracking from the tension building beneath it. His whole body was rigid, frozen in place—so many words swirled in his mind, yet none could make it to his lips.
He wanted to say a thousand things, but all of them collided and dissolved before reaching his throat.
"What happened? Human looks like he's seen a ghost."
"What is that... Nihari? Some kind of code"
"No… Look at him. In my opinion, Lord Hedrick knows who Human really is!"
"Ahaha! He's doomed! Completely doomed!! There's no escape now!"
Poof!
Renara's knees buckled. She dropped to the cloud beneath her like a puppet with its strings cut, her legs giving out completely. Her eyes were wide, too wide, staring as if she were seeing something she couldn't believe.
Eleanor turned sharply at the sound, blinking in alarm.
"Sister? What's wrong?"
"Nihari… Nihari…"
