Rune was distressed about his sweeties when he heard someone's sobbing. It was very faint, and if not for his heightened senses which were ajar as he was hiding from his sweeties, he would have surely missed it. He followed the voice and soon came in front of his parent's bedroom.
It was awkward for him to stand before his parent's bedroom and eavesdrop on them, but his gut said that something was wrong. His mother was crying heart-wrenchingly that day. He had only seen his mother cry twice only, the first time his mother cried that much was right years ago, when his sweeties were sent to the hostel for their studies, and today was the second time. His heart told him that his mother was probably crying again because of his sweeties.
His mind was in utter chaos. He had several questions but no answer, "What is happening? Why are there so many riddles but no solution? So many questions but no answers?? Are his sweeties in danger???"
