Capítulo 190: Quiet Indifference

Walking into the association, Jay glanced at Margaret.

She glanced back at Jay without a smile or a hello and quickly went back to her notes.

Jay was glad that she wasn’t replaced by a black-armour guard, but she was acting very differently, and Jay decided to mimic her distant and detached behaviour.

“Hello. Who are these new guards?” Jay approached the desk and asked quietly.

Margaret didn’t look up for a moment, and Jay thought it was quite rude, but he soon understood why.

“These are the safety bearers. They protect us from people who become monsters or get dangerous classes. Isn’t it good that they’re here?” she said, stressing the words ‘dangerous classes’, “We’re safer than ever.” she added.

Jay stopped his breathing for a moment as he knew they were both being watched, and that this was a warning; he was one of such monsters which would be hunted by them, and since Jay knew her, it was clear to him that she didn’t believe those words at all.
