An Extra’s POV

After the Trial, everyone went their way and Rey had to return to his room.

He was allowed to roam the central Living Room, but since he preferred not to, he decided to simply remain inside.

No one could blame him.

Night soon fell, and as everyone was sleeping, a certain student couldn't sleep.

"Damnit…"

His eyes were wide open as he stared at the ceiling. Before long, he sat upright and clapped his hand over his face.

"I screwed up big time…" He murmured in the dark.

It was difficult to tell what kind of face this student was making, but it appeared to be a grimace.

'I never expected to be asked to make another testimony. It wasn't part of the plan…'

Yes, this was Adam Sanchez, and he was still going over the earlier events of the day.

… How he had been humiliated in front of everyone.

"I really fucked up!"

"Ahh… don't blame yourself too much." A voice suddenly echoed at the far corner of the room.

"Eep!"

Like a little child, Adam shrieked while jumping from his position.

The figure that greeted his eyes was in the form of a silhouette. They appeared to be in a hooded robe, covered from top to bottom.

No feature of theirs could be seen, but they were undoubtedly a person.
