The meeting ended, Secretary of State Robinson and Minister of Defense Aidington bid farewell to the President and left the "temporary White House."
At this time, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, the large snowflakes landing on people's heads,
Robinson, who normally did not have much contact with the Minister of Defense, turned his head for a glimpse at Aidington right before exiting the doors of the "temporary White House." At that moment, Minister Aidington also happened to cast his gaze over.
Their eye contact lasted less than a second. Then, Robinson lowered his head to enter the car waiting for him. Once seated, he unbuttoned his woolen coat and gazed out at the heavy snow, not uttering a word.
His driver, however, couldn't help but remark, "The snow is really heavy this year."
Robinson responded, "It's not small."
His car was the first to leave the estate, heading east. Afterwards, Aidington's car left the estate and went in the opposite direction.
