'Something's really off here.'
Cedric stared somberly at the floating system window in front of him. He initially thought that his fellow challengers of the same lobby were just busy with their trials, but it seems that the issue was deeper than that.
He said this because none of them have responded to his chat. They haven't even seen it, either. Now, this isn't him feeling disappointed that he's not getting the attention he wants. He knew that this was weird because usually, even if they didn't feel like chatting, at the very least they would see the chat, and the system would indicate that they indeed had seen it.
Even the grumpiest one here, which is Hermit, would at least look at the chat because, despite his apparent dislike of noises, he could be very nosy at times. Cedric has discovered that even though Hermit doesn't use the chat very often, he's still updated on everyone's topic.
