I Couldn't Understand a Single Word He Was Saying.
These were words I never expected to hear in this moment.
I swallowed dryly and pulled down my sleeve to cover the goosebumps rising on my arms.

"Mr. Eglinton. Honestly, I don’t even know how to react. Did you think I’d be scared? What exactly do you want?"
"Do you think I’m lying?"
"If I’m being honest, you look very much like a conman right now. You won’t deny it, will you?"
"......."
"I don’t know why you’d joke about something like this, but there are plenty of people in this village. There are elderly folks, children..."
"Those villagers... have you ever seen any of them outside during the day?"
I froze.
