After Alice opened the door, she uttered in a soft voice, “Kingsley, you’re finally back. I was so worried about you…”

“Mhm. He did.” She nodded. “I heard him scream… He sounded tragic…”

Kingsley couldn’t help laughing when he heard that. “Why is he so quiet now? Could he have died?”

“I don’t think so.” She took a step closer to Kingsley and made a guess in a low voice. “The soundproofing in this hotel is good. It is probably because his voice has become quieter that we can’t hear him…”
