After receiving a slap from Luna and watching her retreat to her room, Eli was led to another room by Mariel, who had arrived after Luna left.
The room was adorned with ornaments and filled with pictures, featuring a central table where four individuals were seated.
Eli's curiosity was piqued as he looked at one particular figure, reminiscent of the blurred silhouettes he encountered during the Dungeon Walker incident...known as 'Sentinels'.
Internally, Eli couldn't contain his happiness; meeting a Sentinel so soon was beyond his expectations. He harboured a plethora of questions and, more importantly, felt a surge of gratitude towards Mariel for providing this unique opportunity.
Mariel sensed the strange mix of emotions on Eli's face, unsure of his thoughts, but secretly welcoming the prospect of another shower of affection.
