When I finally reached my room, the silence hit harder than I expected.
After everything that happened today from being accused to interrogated and nearly flattened by an S-rank's killing intent, and also discovering the fact that Aria is the inspector's granddaughter—I felt like I'd aged five years.

Beep—beep—
The call connected after a few rings.
"Brother Michael!" Alex's voice came through, cheerful but slightly breathless.
"Sorry, I picked up late—I just got back from the training ground."
I grinned a little at his enthusiasm.
