"Sir, Miss Wade has been asking for you. She's hoping you could visit..." After a tense pause, Noah curtly dismissed him.

"Miss Quinn?" Kyla expressed her surprise. "What brings you here?"
"I'm here for a check-up," Vivi explained, gesturing to her wristm "This old injury acts up sometimes, especially after long periods of drawing."
