Laziel let out a yawn, stretching his arms before heading toward the door.
"I'm starving. I'll go ahead and get breakfast," he said.
Garron followed him, already halfway through tying his boots.
"I'll save a spot for you two," he added, giving them a thumbs-up before stepping out.
"Go on," Noel said. "I'll catch up after using the bathroom."
"Same here," Marcus chimed in. "See you guys in a bit."
The door closed behind Laziel and Garron, and Noel and Marcus began walking down the hallway together, towards the bathroom.
"So," Marcus said, glancing sideways, "we're meeting the adoptive family today, right?"
"Yeah," Noel nodded. "After two weeks of digging without results, I want to check everything firsthand. Something about this whole thing still feels off."
Marcus scratched his head. "You really think the enemy is hiding inside the Holy Capital? Wouldn't it be easier to invade or hit us directly?"
Noel stopped just short of the bathroom door and looked at him.
