His hand was still smeared with blood, indicating a recent injury.
He looked at Lea with a gaze full of interest. “Sorry, I’m in a burry” He gestured with his right hand and offered a brief, polite apology.

“Lea? Lea.” Christian’s voice broke through her shock, and she finally returned to reality. “What’s wrong! Do you know that person!”
She shook her head, quickly regaining her composure. She responded, “It’s nothing, just a bit cold” She then tilted her chin toward the direction Fabian had gone and instructed Yannis, “Go check it out.”
“Understood.” Yannis Jeft to investigate.

She turned and looked at the grand hotel, disappearing into the night. “You all go ahead, she said. Alfred was inside receiving treatment, and she needed to ensure his safety before she could leave.
Upon seeing her like this, everyone’s eyes welled up again, and their throats tightened with unspoken words. “Lea.” Christian couldn’t help but speak up.
She turned to face everyone, offering a smile. “Let me wait a little longer; it will be fine.” Then, her expression grew more serious as she addressed Chris and the others. “You all have important matters to attend to. Please go ahead and take care of them.”

Brian didn’t delve into details, saying, “It’s nothing. Everything went fairly smoothly.”
Thinking of Fabian, she couldn’t help but ask. “Was it the man who just left! About twenty–seven years old, with curly hair, and 61 feet tall?”
