An Extra’s POV

The night was awkward after that.

They had to speak to Justin, who was just returning from his meeting with his Party Members when he saw them in that corner.

As expected, he poked jokes at them and tried to probe further into what they were doing alone in the dark, but none of them answered honestly.

"See you guys at the Conquest!"

As both Rey and Alicia heard his last words, they sighed simultaneously. Rey's sigh was louder, though.
