Valcroy walked casually toward the guild, his steps nonchalant as he walked toward the building. There were faint traces of a smile tugging at his lips, his hand in his pockets. He seemed to have no care. His eyes flickered to the sides, observing the shadows where figures lingered. Their movements, though subtle, didn't escape his notice.

"Excuse me, sir."
Valcroy walked up to the elderly, his voice polite and respectful as he asked, "Could you tell me the time?"
