Chapter 31: How to be a Human?
In the dead silence of the night, the entire roadside was draped in darkness. Shops and buildings stood shut. Every light was off... except one.
One building stood out.
From a single floor in the middle of the glassy building, a dim, flickering light pulsed faintly. The rest of the building loomed in eerie stillness, as if holding its breath.
Crrcck... Crccck...
The sound of cracking glass echoed through the air, faint but sharp.
Leo, Valra, and Pride stood side by side in front of a tall, sleek glass building.
The sign read PAPPA Co., Ltd.
Their expressions were tense, serious. Valra’s eyes kept scanning the building, while Pride gripped her sword handle tightly.
"Envy’s already inside," Valra whispered. "He’s surrounding the place, checking the perimeter."
Leo squinted up at the building, panting lightly from the run. His eyes darted between Valra and Pride. "What the hell happened here?" he asked, his voice shaking slightly with unease. "Why did we come running all the way here without a word? Someone tell me what’s going on."
He looked at their faces—and instantly knew something was very wrong.
