Thorne looked at Thraill and Soni, a spark of excitement in his eyes. "The reason I was able to escape was because of the bicycle!"
"What kind of thing is this bicycle you're talking about?" Thraill asked, confusion etched on his face.
"Oh! I know! It's those two-wheeled devices that have been all the rage in the Royal Capital lately, right?" Soni exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with recognition.
"Yes, you're absolutely right!" Thorne nodded enthusiastically. "Cyrus forced me to buy one. At first, I thought it was too expensive and insisted I didn't need it. But he wouldn't take no for an answer. Little did I know that this bicycle would end up saving my life!"
"So Cyrus indirectly saved your life, huh?" Thraill chuckled.
"Yeah," Thorne replied with a serious nod. "If it weren't for him, I'd be dead by now. I really owe him my thanks."
"You definitely should," Soni agreed earnestly.
