In the office space, there was silence and lull all around, but ultimately Crey shook his head as he stood up from the couch and walked out. He had his right foot wrapped in heavy bandages but from the looks of it, the fracture was not restricting his movement at all.

They let him walk out, albeit a little slowly while dragging his set foot away, without any qualms or doubts.
