An Extra’s POV

~VWUUUUSH!~

In a spark of energy, and swirling of distorted space, Rey found himself in the Shrine.

He stood right in front of the statue, his eyes fixated on how its glowing eyes slowly began to dim, until it became as lifeless as it usually was. Esme was cradled on his arms the whole time, and his expression was absolutely lull.

This stoic expression was a full front, though.

Deep in his heart, he was struggling with a myriad of emotions that he had to keep suppressed.

He understood what was going to happen to Emilia, he had to ponder about Esme, had to think about Alicia, and also about the higher powers that The Oracle spoke of. Then, there was the impending destruction of the world that seemed inevitable according to the one who witnessed the future.

All of this information came with their fair share of emotions—a lot of them.

He couldn't process them.

If he tried, they would overflow and overwhelm his mind. Knowing this, Rey reckoned it was best to abandon those feelings for the moment until he was able to properly rest—both physically and mentally.

'I haven't slept for a few days now. I've been thinking about a lot, exerting myself a lot, and overall just… haa… I need a break.' His thoughts flowed, though he felt they were too disjointed for his tastes—yet another sign that he needed a break.

But all of that would have to wait.

Right now, Rey had to deal with something else, and it was tied to the fact that he wasn't alone in the Shrine.

"I thought we would be meeting later." He muttered, turning away from the Statue while averting his eyes to the one who stood behind him.

"Didn't you have somewhere you had to be… Adrien?"

Adrien was standing very close to the entrance of the Shrine, and it was clear that he had been waiting for Rey for quite some time.
