The sound of approaching footsteps made Noa turn his head, and he was about to turn his head to see who it was when he felt a tap on his shoulder, causing him to jolt.
Looking up, he saw So-Rin with a worried expression on her face.
It seemed like she wanted to say something but was hesitant to speak. Sensing her unease, he gave her a reassuring smile.
"So-Rin, what's wrong?" Noa asked calmly.
"I'm glad to find you here, Noa," So-Rin began with a barely audible voice. "The situation in the city seems to be getting worse, not better."
Noa gestured to the empty space on the bench, inviting So-Rin to sit beside him. She hesitated for a moment, then took a seat.
"I thought the public trial was over after someone claimed to be the cyber knight?" Noa asked gently.
So-Rin took a deep breath and spoke hurriedly, sharing what had unfolded on the stage after Noa left.
