I was willing, and I'll talk to Winter myself. You don't have to take responsibility." Frank looked her in the eye and breathed a long sigh before turning his back to her awkwardly. "Don't worry—I'll take responsibility for my actions and talk to Winter. I'm not scum. You could move into Skywater Bay if you want too. There are plenty of rooms over there." "Yeah!"

"Nothing. Just a little busy," he replied vaguely, and returned to his room.
He was getting tired with one annoyance piling up with another.
Hence, he cleared his mind and started to train without a sense of time.
When he was done, his phone rang.
"Frank Lawrence, | hope you can attend my grandfather's funeral tomorrow." It turned out to be Helen, but her voice was as cold as a machine.
"1 will."
