Allen nodded. "It's a good turnout."
Jordan was seated in one of the chairs, his gaze fixed on the tablet Alex had left. He didn't say much.
Emma leaned closer to Allen, lowering her voice. "You know, you're kind of terrifying when you're like this."
Allen glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. "Like what?"

Allen smirked faintly. "Good. That's the point."
Emma rolled her eyes but smiled. "Just don't forget to breathe, okay? You've got this."
He didn't respond, but her words stayed with him as he continued watching the monitors.
