The workshop remained silent. Rin stared at the glowing number floating above the detector.
11:18.
He could still hear Aiden's words in his head.
Someone wasn't waiting for us at 11:17.
They were waiting for us at 11:18.
Nobody moved. Finally, Sol broke the silence.
"Let's not assume we understand what this means."
Rin nodded.
"Agreed."
Noctis looked at the detector.
"The number wasn't part of the original reading."
"So it appeared after we opened the hidden room?" Rin asked.
Sol shook his head.
"Not exactly."
He adjusted the device.
"The original signal was recorded when the clock moved from 11:17 to 11:18."
Rin frowned.
"And now the detector is showing the number itself."
"Yes."
"Why?"
"We don't know."
Rin sighed.
"Of course."
Kaelith stood beside him.
"At least we have something concrete."
Rin looked at him.
"One minute."
Kaelith nodded.
"One minute."
Rin looked back at the projection. A single minute shouldn't have been important.
