As Selena led Shinon towards the Phoenixes' meeting room, she tried to engage him in small talk, but he remained silent, his face etched with an emotionless expression.
Selena knew that Shinon despised her and the Phoenixes, but she hoped he would hear them out at least. It wasn't like he had any other choice, but if possible, Selena wanted them to handle it civilly.
