Stupefied, the middle-aged man stood there with an expression filled with total disbelief.
After some time has passed the man seemed to have calmed down. He took a few deep breaths and spoke again:
"Freaking hell! I knew it!"
He got closer to Arthur while closely inspecting him from head to toe. For some reason, he didn't even doubt for a second that it's a trick or some kind of hallucination.
"No corpse, no conclusive evidence about your death... I fucking knew it!"
After gazing at Arthur for who knows how long, he shifted his attention to the woman next to him. Average appearance and an expressionless face, her presence here is a complete mystery for him yet he tried to come up with some scenarios on his own.
"It's been a long time, Josef."
Arthur smiled as he stepped ahead and extended his hand for a handshake. However, the man didn't follow with the courtesy and instead went it for a sudden hug.
