Avery sensed the exchange right away, a sense that something enormous changed into about to unfold. Her current judgment via the Celestial Tribunal had left her reeling, but there was no time to reside on it now. a new message, marked by the insignia of the Architect, had arrived, summoning her to a hidden part of the campus, an area she hadn't dared assignment before.

Avery nodded, gripping his hand for reassurance. "this is some thing I must face myself, Lucas. regardless of the Architect's been making plans — it's time we ultimately discovered out."

He hesitated, then released her hand, his gaze packed with trust. "Then I'll be waiting whilst you come lower back."
