Darien looked stunned when he heard that.
He glanced at Keira, confused, and asked, "Nine fifty-five? I don't really get what you mean…"
Keira immediately pressed, "I'm asking why you called her to come out at exactly 9:55!"
Darien seemed even more confused. "Did I? I didn't even notice."
He pulled out his phone, checked his call log, and sure enough—it showed he had made the call at 9:55.
Looking baffled, he muttered, "I just called randomly. I had no idea what time it was."
His expression was sincere, not like someone trying to lie.
Still, Keira glanced over at Erin, just to be sure.
"What are you looking at me for?" Erin asked, raising an eyebrow.
Keira replied, "Check if he's been hypnotized."
"Oh," Erin said, stepping closer to check Darien's pupils. After a quick look, she shook her head. "Nope, nothing."
Keira frowned. "Then what's going on?"
It felt like the trail had suddenly gone cold.
