That entire week, we did not accept any daily missions, the lingering echo of Aimee's confession felt heavy. Her words had burrowed deep, leaving us emotionally adrift. Thankfully, that escort mission—safeguarding the kingdom's princess— had granted us a rare and exclusive medal that helps us qualify for the next round of the tournament. We did not bother going outside, and even too stunned to even speak to one another. Each of us were too shock and overwhelmed by the sheer weight of everything that had happened in a single day. We thought maybe weeks of rest is enough as we navigated the emotional aftermath of Aimee's confession.
The clinking of spoons against our plates was broken by a sudden flash of light from our screens. Each of our gadget lit up at once with a message from Athena.
