The tired-looking assistant brought her toward the containment cells, which made Kary nervous.
She had visited this part a few times in the last month as she brought in rogue awakened players, and heading there was already a bad sign in her mind.
When they got there, Mr. Gu led her to a cell in the corner, where she recognized the shoulders of the man sitting back facing them.
"Alex!" she exclaimed, running to the cell.
Alex turned his head slowly, smiling when his gaze met hers.
But his smile was bittersweet as he saw the signs of depression on her face. The dull look, the sunken eyes, the unkempt hair and loose clothes.
It hurt him to think about how his actions caused this.
"Hi, darling… How are you holding up?" he asked, his voice soft.
Kary started crying slowly as she realized it was still him.
"You came back… You really came back… I missed you so much…" she said, weeping softly.
