"Something happened in the South Sector," Bain said with a serious face, his eyes looking at the kitchen. It seemed like Bain hadn't given up on his initial thoughts.

"North Sector? What happened there?" Kieran looked confused.

"Nothing, I'll be back soon," said Bain. He then walked into the night without a pause, swiftly vanishing from sight.

Kieran saw Bain off with squinted eyes.
