["Senior, what would it take for you to be happy?"]
The scene unfolds.
Location: Riverbank leading to Menilanka District
Chloe appears somewhat troubled.
Rephya instinctively gazes at him.
She says softly:
"Senior, are you still thinking about Senior Morton's disappearance?"
"Yes, Senior Morton is not someone who would flee in battle. His disappearance was too sudden."
Rephya tilts her head and says:
"But that's not what you're truly afraid of, is it?"
"Hmm?" Chloe is taken aback, then chuckles, "So, what do you think I'm afraid of?"
Rephya stares at Chloe and says:
"You're worried, worried that if the mission to establish the transport hub in Menilanka somehow fails, Senior Morton might live with regret for the rest of his life."
Chloe flicks her forehead, speechless, and says:
"Why do you naturally assume I would be upset over someone else's trouble?"
