Not long after, Emilin was back at the studio she had been at just yesterday.
The lobby was the same as yesterday's, yet it felt somewhat different.
Perhaps it was because it had been packed full the previous night, but it left Emilin the impression that it was missing something.
It was more spacious, more desolate.
Emptier.
Even the walls felt whiter.
There was just Lico, still at the front desk.
Lico was looking at Emilin intently as if trying to figure something out with no results before putting up his polite receptionist smile.
"You're here early! The boss has already told me that you would be coming, asking me to inform you to head to the second room on the right side of that corridor," Lico had a smile brighter than usual, probably due to the amazing meal they had just eaten the night before.
Or perhaps something else entirely.
