Chapter 107: Pre-Heat
Arren and Rave were the only ones left in Spade’s room. He was still in the bed and leaning on the headboard, while the white-haired omega was sitting in the seat that he had moved from its original position and was now beside the bed.
In the few minutes that passed, no one actually talked. Rave was reading something on the laptop that was put on the bed, while Arren, who forbade himself to look at his phone or social media because it might trigger him if he saw the news, was only watching the omega.
It was a bit uncomfortable for other people if they were stared at like that, but Rave was different. He didn’t have any expressions and only calmly used the laptop.
"Rave, what do you think of the event last night?" After a while, Arren shattered the peaceful silence and spoke. Although he had already become better because of his earlier crying, he was still not his usual self.
It seemed it would take a few more days before his mood truly improved and he returned to his usual self.
Arren didn’t know where Rave was last night, but as his identity was that of a royal attendant, he was probably in the palace. Even in the novel, which could only be referenced, the moonlight festival opening was only there to introduce Spade and the organization.
In response to his question, the other lifted his head, and their eyes met. He admits that sometimes the calm and sometimes always straight face of Rave wasn’t really annoying. It complements him really well.
"It’s something we haven’t expected, and an even worse scenario we can ever think of," Rave responded in a graceful, melodic voice that appeared softer than usual, and just as Arren’s eyes dimmed, he went on. "But at least the disaster didn’t escalate to even more innocent people hurting and dying. What happened wasn’t anyone’s fault; it was all the organization’s alone."
Although Rave was indirect, in Arren’s ears, he was more like saying it wasn’t Arre’s fault and he didn’t need to blame himself but instead put all his blame and anger on the organization that was the real culprit of the incident.
