An Extra’s POV

"You…"

As Rey's defiant voice rang out in the hall, the Oracle's neutral face depicted a light frown. She furrowed her brows, causing creases to appear on her face while staring hard at the defiant human.

"... You weren't given a choice in the matter."

~ZZZTZ!~

All of a sudden, a glitchy effect manifested around Rey—almost as though space itself was collapsing on him.

However, within the fraction of a moment, he removed himself from that position and teleported a few meters from the spatial disturbance.

Swiftly turning his face from the glitch to The Oracle, he could already deduce what had just happened.

"Tch." Her clicking tongue added more to his suspicions.

"You just tried to evict me by force, didn't you?" Rey asked, a deep glare forming on his face as he began to address The Oracle with enmity.

"Yes. Your purpose here has been consummated, and you have become an eyesore."

Rey gritted his teeth as he watched The Oracle's condescending gaze upon him. A lot of emotions swirled within him, including a certain tinge of regret.

'I shouldn't have brought Esme here. I knew something was shady from the start, but if I could have known it was this bad, then…' He briefly glanced at Esme, who was busy sighing and shaking her head.

"Rey, just stop."

Despite hearing her saying those words to him, he just couldn't stop and listen.

'I know I'm being selfish, Esme. But… we need to talk about this at length first. This is all just happening too fast. We could be making the wrong call here…'

Rey wondered if he was the one being unreasonable? He just didn't want to quickly abandon their bond the moment they found something convenient.

Was that so bad?

Yet, the glares he received from both sides—Esme and The Oracle—somehow told him he was in the wrong.

"If you stubbornly choose to remain here, then…"

Rey's full attention returned to The Oracle as soon as he heard this, but once he turned to her location, she was nowhere to be found.

It was almost as though every trace of her had been removed.

"... You leave me no choice."
