"This way!" Job, after consulting the map, bolted forward with determination.
His mind swirled with doubts and questions, particularly concerning Nick's mental state, as Kalsie had hinted.
Nick had undoubtedly engaged in something dangerous, but there must be reasons behind his actions, and Job believed those reasons were more critical than ever.
"!!" Lost in thought, Job suddenly spotted a figure darting away at the end of the path.
"WAIT!!! Nick!!!!" Instantly recognizing him, Job picked up his pace, determined to catch up.
'Hurry!' Reaching the end of the path, Job took the right turn Nick had taken and came to a halt.
"I know it's you," Job gasped, catching his breath. Nick stood a few meters away, his back turned to Job.
"Please, tell me. What's happening here? Why didn't you come to me?" Job asked with genuine concern.
Nick slowly turned to face Job, and what Job saw left him stunned.
