At 2 AM, the Rose Garden was brilliantly lit, with all doors and windows wide open for ventilation.
In the living room were Hugo Clark, William Lane, Allonzo Hobson, plus others from the Dark Radiance whom Robinson Scott had summoned from the Imperial Capital.
All of them wore troubled expressions.
Kevin Clark was sitting on the sofa, looking distraught, his eyes bloodshot, and his eyelids moist. Due to the lingering effect of the drugs, his fingertips were still trembling slightly.
Thomas Firway and the others who had later entered the living room were still not fully awake.
William Lane was exceptionally silent. His face was ashen, and even without speaking a word, those around him could sense the smoldering anger within him.
Allonzo Hobson and Hugo Clark quietly observed William Lane, fearing that he would lose control and injure Kevin Clark, who currently had mobility.
But William Lane hadn't uttered a word of blame or interrogation since he came in.
