Chapter 14 - A solutions
Both Henry and Auran were dragged into the prison cell. It was dirty and filled with a rancid smell. The floor and walls were covered in dust, showing signs of not having been cleaned for years.
"Please, hear me out for once. This was all a big misunderstanding. We don’t even know how we ended up in your secret flower garden in the first place!"
At the last moment before the officer left, Henry tried his best to persuade the man. But alas, the officer acted as if he hadn’t heard a single word Henry said and walked away with loud steps.
Looking at the officer disappear into the distance, Henry turned back to look at the prison cell he and Auran were trapped in. Auran remained the same as before—like someone with brain damage—his eyes unfocused, mouth open, with drool dripping from the corner.
"He doesn’t seem like he’ll get well anytime soon. Maybe I should have asked them to check on his condition...
But I doubt they would even listen to any of my requests."
Once again, Henry looked outside and met the gaze of the other inmates in the surrounding prison cells. Some looked similar to humans, while others bore distorted, inhuman appearances.
"What are you looking at?" one inmate, who had a face resembling a scaled fish, growled at Henry as he noticed him observing.
"sorry, my deepest apologies," Henry quickly apologized for his mistake and took a step back, avoiding the gaze of the inmates.
