Inei was worried when his sister did not return immediately after leaving the room. She insisted on going outside to find a restroom outside because she needed to walk off the alcohol she drank before the event began.
He thought she was just embarrassed to use the indoor bathroom in their room, but he did not mention it. It was not something to overthink on a night out.
However, when the clock hit zero, and the arena fog started clearing up, she was still not back. Inei frowned as he looked at the revelation. The entire arena turned into a series of three replicated rooms with a person in the middle.
Inei hesitated for a moment as he looked at his screen and the open arena. The shouts from the crowd were loud as the contestants were revealed. Inei wanted to see the beginning of the show, but he was really worried about Emi.
He took a longing look at the arena before leaving the room.
