Bab 282: 282:Reunion[II]

In a grand mansion, a bit farther away from BBSR, Utkal…

Claire and Roy sat on the plush sofa, surrounded by walls that offered both security and isolation.

They knew that being in Utkal was no coincidence, and the anticipation of the upcoming battle weighed heavily on them. 

"Do you think he'll come soon?" Claire's voice trembled, breaking the silence, her anxiety evident. 

Roy placed a reassuring hand on hers, though worry flickered in his own eyes. "He's preparing himself, Claire. This can't be easy for him either." 

Claire gave a small, resigned nod, her gaze drifting to the door. "I know… but waiting like this every day is unbearable. It scares me even more." 

"What if he doesn't come? What if he doesn't want to see us?"
