An Extra’s POV

[Moments Earlier]

"My partner… I'd like to see her. Where is she?"

Rey, currently disguised as Ralyks, was seated opposite Rebal, Kara, and Asher.

All three of them gazed upon him with respect and reverence—far more than what they would normally depict.

Rey ignored all of that and focused on his question.

'I haven't seen her since yesterday. She was very distraught back then…'

Rey could only hope that Esme was a lot better.

However, he soon realized—as soon as he saw the anxious expressions on the faces of the three—that his hopes were going to be dashed.

"The lady… said she doesn't want any visitors."

'H-huh?' Rey was surprised the moment he heard that.

"I'm not just 'any visitor', though." He responded almost immediately.

Rebal and the other two gulped, almost simultaneously. They must have thought he was offended when, in all honesty, he was just surprised.

"She also specifically mentioned that she doesn't want to see you, Sir Ralyks."

Rey felt something squeeze within his heart.

'Why? Why doesn't she want to see me?' His mind echoed.

Was it because of how he slaughtered all those people in the Dark Gathering? He didn't even torture them, and he made their deaths pretty much instantaneous.

They were all bastards who had it coming anyway.

'I thought she would finally understand after seeing what they did to her friends…'

Once Rey remembered her friends and the trauma she suffered, he considered the possibility that Esme could be grieving them.

She was most likely upset about their demise and blaming herself for their death.

'All the more reason to see her!'
