Twenty-eight hours had passed since Hades took the Gammas to search for Kael, with Cain coming along as support. And yet... nothing.

I knew well that I was driving myself crazy with worry. But the emotion had engulfed me fully. Even now, as it was being reported to me that fortunately no one had lost their life during the initial collapse at the press conference, people were still demanding answers.
