As we returned from the small seclusion we created to have a peaceful talk, I could feel the suspicion mixing with curiosity in the souls of literally every single member of the group. And sadly, I could already tell that rather than satisfying their curiosity, I had no other choice but to confirm their suspicions.
"Everyone, I will be leaving the group for now." Announcing as soon as I could use my voice in a normal way while making sure that everyone in the group and no one from the outside spectators could hear me.
For a moment, no one spoke out a word. In this eerie silence, the only sound came from the muscles and joints of several people when they suddenly started looking at the other member of the group in an attempt to confirm that they heard correctly.
