"That's pretty much the situation. I heard that some doctors have run extensive research on this. If you could find one of them, you might be able to get things under control."
"Alright…"
Mrs. Potter turned around and Rickard was standing behind her. The sound insulation wasn't great, so Rickard heard everything that they said.
"Alright, I'm going to leave." Rickard looked down. "Hesper is very sensitive so if I stay any longer, she's going to find out."
Mrs. Potter could tell that something was off with him, but she nodded. She didn't know that Rickard was trying to figure out the chances of Daybreak taking Hesper away if they attacked now.
However, no matter what was the probability, he didn't have time to delay for Hesper's legs.

Meanwhile, Myriade typed a bunch of code into her computer when someone opened the door behind her.
"...Riley?" The lights were off so the room was dark.
Riley was the only one who would interrupt her. Myriade stood up impatiently when she didn't hear a reply and turned around.
"Riley, wh—Psycho?"
The young man stood in front of Myriade but didn't say anything. She took a step back in alert and then heard the man speak.
