Kapitel 70: The Next Floor, I

Sean Dayward POV:

"About two years, I guess…" I trailed off.

Elias didn't really seem shocked or disturbed at all by this fact, as if he expected it to have been quite some time.

He softly said, "I see… You were all alone, right?"

"Yes…" We were on some type of veranda, just sitting and listening to the night music. "You know, I really missed you all…" I stated my honest opinion.

"I'm sorry…" Elias trailed off, his indifferent face didn't move at all, but by the tone of his voice, I could understand that he was moved by this whole situation.

"Don't be. It was me who made you activate the circle, after all, I should be the one to apologize. I am sorry."

"Quit spouting nonsense," Elias said with a bemused face, "I missed you and the other comrades the whole time too… I was and still am so worried if they will pass through the hell the dungeon has cooked for them."
