Did I really enter some parallel universe or something?
With a sigh, Alden pressed the elevator button as the lift arrived within seconds.
Thankfully nobody was there this time.
For a socially awkward person like him, that was a blessing.
Who even enjoys that coffin-silence of an elevator ride?
He entered the lift.
Within seconds the soft chime of lift rang again as the door opened.
The same lobby as always greeted him.
His friends were standing at the edges near the entrance.
Looking at them, Alden felt calm.
The temple, the failed possibility, the spectators, and all other bullshit that clouded his mind slipped away for a while…
…at least until he heard the obnoxious voice.
Who else but Seles.
"You seem quite fine for someone who was missing for a few days?" She spoke with her usual smile.
She was standing just beside the lift as if she had been waiting for it.
Her blonde hair was tied up in a pony, and she wore a white-colored uniform, the one that patients wore.
