"Our superior needs to see you."
Peter offered his help in supporting her back to the village where the military police are cleaning up.
It was just as formality but Emilia knew this was the true reason why Heather had asked Lester to let her accompany him. In order to make sure that even the military police were to notice their presence.
The superior he was talking about was actually none other than Adrian himself.
While on their way back, Gerard had led the rest of the villagers out of the underground hiding place.
They had a way to check on the things that are going on outside. Looking through a telescope that sees the village from a higher point of view.
At the same time, before stepping out, Gerard was able to discern that Lester and the rest didn't want their presence to be known. He was able to understand that even the faces they got used to were not actually their real faces.
