Liam's gaze remained fixed on Elly, the weight of the revelations causing his thoughts to whirl.
"I truly wish I had all the answers, Liam," Elly began, her voice tinged with regret.
"From what I've managed to gather, the incident wasn't just a random occurrence. Everything you've experienced appears to be part of a much larger design."
Seeing the storm of emotions in Liam's eyes, she said. "You should calm down, Liam. Making guesses in the dark will only lead to more questions. Speculation without sufficient information will only spiral into more questions."
Liam closed his eyes momentarily, taking a deep, steadying breath. 'She's right. The deeper I go, the less I seem to understand. I need more information, more pieces to this puzzle.'
Seeing him calm down, Elly asked, "Can I ask you another question now?"
Liam rubbed his temples and sighed in resignation. "Sure, go ahead."
