A few more days passed since the group's reunion. If one were to look they wouldn't notice anything weird about their routines or way of acting, but under the wraps, the ones that had been in the conversation were taking precautions.
For everyone else on the Colosseum, things were going as normal, but for Stella's main group, it was a game of waiting. Thankfully no one, not even Talho, was aware of that.
It was all in Mares' hands. Or at least that's what the group thought as it was actually in Esen's hands. Either way, it was still only a matter of time.
The white-haired hadn't gone completely radio silent.
From time to time, she would update Mares on how it was going, like when she said it was safe to talk through Astral Energy voice projection. Her last update was that in less than a week, in Earth's time, she would be done.
