章 168: I know who they're looking for.

The day began with an almost celestial serenity. Strax, still resting beside his wife, was absorbed in reading updates from the System, taking in the latest information and improvements that had been implemented. The sun filtered through the windows, casting soft light patterns over the two of them, while the morning tranquility enveloped the surroundings.

His wife, with her hair spread out over the pillow and a relaxed smile, was deeply asleep. Strax, aware that any movement could wake her, remained still. The warmth of her body was comforting, and he felt a sense of peace being so close to her.

The sensation of being completely numb was not a discomfort for Strax but rather a reflection of how immersed he was in his reading and how much he enjoyed this moment of tranquility. He was absorbed in the details of the System updates, but the constant thought of how everything had changed recently was always present.
