The atmosphere was light, bringing two souls together with music. Daniel wasn't feeling lost anymore. If anything, instead of emptiness, he actually felt joy.
One of the things he enjoyed doing the most—something that had once been used against him—was now becoming a source of happiness again. He was still unaware of the recording happening behind him until Xylander turned him around with a smile, walking suggestively toward him before taking hold of the phone and showing it to Daniel.
Daniel's eyes widened at the sight of the whooping views on the screen.
"What is all this??" Daniel stammered, finding it hard to utter another word. All of a sudden, his voice felt lost and he couldn't comprehend anything anymore.
Xylander was relieved that Daniel took it well. At least he wasn't panicking about the fact that he had been recorded without knowing. Even if he became angry about it later, Xylander knew this was for his own good and nothing else.
