After parting with the general, Peter, who was walking towards the hospital in the military barracks, had to stop when he felt a vibration on his wrist.
He raised his hand and saw an incoming message from his older sister, Chloe. When Peter opened the message, it contained an encouraging sentence and a brief instruction to contact his sister if his mission was over and he returned to the city.
Looking closer, the message should have been sent this morning, but due to the distance and the difficulty of communication outside the wall, it only arrived now.
But why now? Shouldn't it have been when he passed through the gate?
So much time had passed, from Cain's evacuation and going to the hospital, as well as his conversation with the general. That must have taken up quite some time.
The time gap somehow felt unsettling in his head.
