An Extra’s POV

'It makes no sense…'

Adrien put on his best poker face, but he was actually stupefied underneath the face. To say he was completely discombobulated would still be a mild description of how he was feeling at the current moment.

'Everything has been going according to plan. I have made sure to keep track of all the variables, and I have painstakingly established the constants. So why…?'

Never before had such a thing happened.

As long as he planned sufficiently, Adrien had always been able to solve any challenge and make things go exactly as he wanted them to.

But now… now he was met with an inconsistency in his reality.

'Did I make a mistake somewhere?' He asked himself.

If he did, there was a chance that his conclusion would be flawed since he was working with incorrect information. The whole premise would collapse on itself.

But—

'Is that even likely? I make sure to be very thorough with my analysis… so it's not really possible, right?'

Adrien often made a conscious effort not to make too many assumptions or reference to the past, but he couldn't help but recognize his efficiency and absolute correctness in all his past endeavors.

He had never been wrong in his life.

'Yet… this happens? No, there has to be something else going on here. Something I couldn't have been able to factor into my premise.'

To observe that 'something', Adrien recognized that he would have to personally observe the Camp of the Elves—or at least, the battlefield.
