From MC's Perspective:
As I listened intently to their conversation, a silent understanding passed between the two Envoys. Their eyes met, confirming something unspoken.
"It's time," Clinton said, his voice grave. The friendly tone had vanished, replaced by a solemn demeanor.
"You can come with us, Zack," Sally said, her voice carrying the authority of a University elder.
Their sudden shift in demeanor sent a jolt through me. I turned to Teacher Lowell, Jonathan, and the Federation Head.
"Don't worry, kid. I'll take care of your friends in the Outerpost region," Lowell assured me with a reassuring smile.
He knew what was troubling me. As a Tier-4 region resident, I was concerned about the safety of my friends. Any organization in the Inner Post region that dared to harm them would face severe consequences.
