The atmosphere grew heavy as Adam turned toward UV2. The weight of their shared history, the truths left untold, and the looming specter of past decisions pressed down on the room like a suffocating fog. UV2 hesitated, preparing to continue his explanation, but Adam raised a hand, halting him mid-sentence.
"Wait," Adam said, his voice calm but firm, his piercing gaze locking onto UV2's. "I want to see it for myself."
UV2 froze, caught off guard by Adam's words. His brows furrowed in surprise, the hesitation in his expression betraying his uncertainty. "But, Lord Adam—" he began, only to stop as Adam took a step closer.
Before UV2 could voice his concerns, Adam placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. The gesture, though gentle, carried an undeniable authority. "Don't worry," Adam said, his tone steady and resolute. "You don't need to relive this pain anymore. I'll see it myself."
