Ben couldn't think straight right now, like everyone else within the reception room.
He didn't know what decision to make or what to say that could wipe away the tension and weight everyone was bearing on their minds.
He knew everyone felt and saw he was more mature and mentally stronger, but it was all the system.
If he didn't tell him he came from another world, he might have conflicting thoughts and a weird mindset that isn't typical for his age.
Because of that everyone knew Ben could acknowledge the information and make sound decisions from that.
They had seen it as he grew before their eyes.
But they had also seen the childish and haughty behaviour of his.
For everyone it was difficult to push the next steps onto a child, but they had no choice and Ben could feel it in the air that he had to be the one to say something first and plan ahead.
