"Just now a group of soldiers came to the street; they're capturing rebels. We're to stay indoors." Jojo pondered the clues: "Is it related to you?"
[No]
Torn paper whispered, piecing together new sentences.
[Did you go to the port this afternoon?]
Jojo did go to the port after Lu Li disappeared: "I looked everywhere for you, even questioned that suspicious Exorcist, but he genuinely seemed unaware of your whereabouts."
Some pieces of paper rose, while others remained:
[Was there any trouble at the port?]
"Yes, still those rebels. The soldiers were capturing them everywhere. When I was there, the port began prohibiting ships from entering or leaving..."
Unfortunately, tonight might just be the night when the "Lennon Islands" tragedy began.
Aunt Mary and Auntie Roxanne downstairs were still worried that the news of the rebels would cause them to break into Shaning Street. This street is mostly elderly folks. Jojo felt at ease only because Lu Li returned.
