Tora helped me walk back to my room immediately when they arrived. The sun was already setting, so it means that I was in the closet for at least three to four hours. It only makes sense that all of them were so worried after I disappeared suddenly.
"Ari, are you okay now? I went to the storage room earlier with Centaurus to check on you, but we didn't see you," Tora asked worriedly while helping me to settle on my bed.
"I-I'm not s-sure—I-I'm s-sorry," I apologized while trembling with anxiety.
I couldn't get myself to tell them about what I heard earlier. My mouth was sealed, as if something was blocking me from saying a word.
"No, Ari. It's not your fault. I shouldn't have let you drink the suppressant so that we can still sense your location within the village," Lowell uttered while gritting his teeth out of regret.
