At the mention of Wave Residence, Yorick's expression turned grim.

He quickly said into the phone, "Still arranging. Tell her to stay calm and not overthink things."

"Still arranging? What do you mean? Isn't everything ready yet?" Cloudia's tone sharpened, a note of unease creeping in. Yorick frowned. "That's it for now. I've got to go."
