Capítulo 1045: Sad Reality - Strugglers I

Ignoring Mr. Crisologo's cries, I turned my attention to the party I brought with me: Kaley, Tatiana, Quinn, Jared, and Ibarra who were still by our vehicle waiting—though Jared's attention was watching the camera's feed through one of our tablets—but it seemed like Mimi caught wind that we had just arrived and stayed put for a few minutes.

I looked briefly at my watch as I turned to her, "It's past eight, what are you still doing here?"

"Dr. Lo— Dr. Nichols is still here too, you know? We usually clock out way~ later in the university, sometimes even in the morning. We're still getting used to things here too so the extra hours wouldn't hurt. Besides, we're used to this kind of stuff…"

"Don't push yourselves too hard…"

"S-Sure… U-Umm…" Mimi trailed as she was staring at the blood on my hands after briefly glancing at the door I came from.

"..." I didn't utter a word as I wiped the blood on my pants before I scratched the back of my head.
