Familiar Man

Apollo began walking out of the dojo with a circle of guards around him. He was in no rush, walking at a normal speed. However, that made the guards very tense.

Who treats walking with swords pointed at their throat like a stroll in the park?

Although Apollo was compliant, the leading guard did not believe he wouldn't try something. Apollo proclaimed he didn't want to be protected earlier, but the guard believed Apollo was making a sarcastic comment. After all, who believes they are being protected when there are several swords pointing right at their neck?

From the guard's perspective, Apollo was either confident in escaping, or had a plan he could somewhat rely on. Either way, he had no plans of letting him escape.

As Eden watched Apollo leave, she felt confused.

Was she really holding onto a fallen angel all this time?
