"I'm not entirely sure," Gerard said, masking the faint unease that stirred beneath his composed exterior.

Kristian's gaze remained fixed on him, his presence commanding the room with an intensity that seemed to swell with every passing second. Gerard, adjusting his glasses, couldn't shake the feeling of nervousness that clung to him.
