As the days drifted away like autumn leaves preparing for winter, Halloween loomed just around the corner.
With only a month left until the final project completion, Xin dedicated his weekends to double-time on his plates and projects.
The looming exams and the approaching main project auction demanded his focused attention.
In a rare moment of solitude, Xin found himself at a café, taking a break from his hectic schedule.
He and Victor had planned to meet up and work on their projects together, but an unexpected Guildbane meeting had kept him away from their usual spot.
Victor was deeply engrossed in Guildbane as they approached the Castle of Doom raid, and had become too busy for their usual collaborations.
Observing Victor's tight schedule, Xin pondered if he could even finish on time.
Maybe he could lend a hand to ensure they both met their project deadlines.
