Sometimes, a quest would alter the time of day entirely, turning night into day or day into night simply to advance a particular scene. Ren had already encountered this strange phenomenon several times since entering the game.
This was probably one of those events.
The quest was likely forcing them to remain in the village overnight because there were still certain events that needed to unfold.
Ren was almost certain of it.
And that was precisely what made him uneasy.
His instincts had been warning him ever since they arrived. Something was coming. He couldn't explain what, nor did he have any evidence to support the feeling, but after spending so much time in this world, Ren had learned not to ignore his gut.
Whenever a quest became suspiciously convenient, it usually meant trouble was waiting just around the corner.
Ren stared toward the horizon as the sun slowly sank beneath the ocean.
The village transformed as evening descended.
