Emrys didn't linger at the mansion. After sharing what he deemed good enough with Rohan and the others, he bid them farewell and departed.
As he walked away, a strange feeling settled over him. Deep down, he sensed that it would be a long time before he saw Rohan again.
As for Cairo, he could not say anything about him for the time being. After all, even though he spent a few days with Cairo, he was not close in the end. Moreover, it seems his actions of killing three people back then had changed Cairo's thoughts about him.

"I'm home!" Emrys's voice echoed through the house as he entered. His mother, Slivya, opened the door for him.
"Where have you been for the past two weeks? I was so worried about you!" Slivya asked, taking the backpack from Emrys and following him inside.
Emrys froze. He suddenly turned to his mother and exclaimed, "What did you say? I've been away for two weeks?"
