The journey back to Steelhaven was as peaceful as every other trip Ezra and Lucy had taken together.
The train glided steadily across the rails, producing a gentle rhythm that echoed softly through the luxurious VIP cabin.
Outside the wide glass window, fields, forests, and small cities quietly passed by one after another beneath the afternoon sky.
Inside the private compartment...
Silence reigned.
Ezra sat beside the window with one leg crossed over the other.
His pitch-black eyes quietly watched the scenery disappear behind the speeding train.
Opposite him...
Lucy struggled to stay awake.
Her eyelids repeatedly became heavy before she forced them open again.
She stretched slightly before rubbing both eyes with the back of her hand.
"Mm..."
A small yawn escaped her lips.
She immediately covered her mouth.
The previous few days continued replaying inside her mind.
The infiltration.
The hidden organization.
Gwen's betrayal.
The battle inside the construction base.
