When Jason opened his mouth, a gleam of light erupted from Pers's eyes.
It was hope!
In his "escape plan," compared to the "newcomer" and Galen, who relied solely on "luck," Jason was the more appropriate choice.
Yet...
Sugar?
Why mention sugar?
Nevertheless, this did not hinder Pers from responding.
"Would fruit candy be okay?"
Pers said as he took out two pieces of candy from his pocket.
Red and green wrappers curled around the candy, with attractive pleats on both ends.
Jason nodded.
Pers immediately handed over the candy.
He didn't enter the room but handed it through the "delivery port" on one side of the wall.
A square large enough to fit a hand appeared with a metal tray. Pers placed the candy on the tray, which then descended, and the port closed.
Next, a section of the floor in front of Jason rose, revealing the tray with two pieces of candy.
After Jason picked up the candy, the floor sunk back down, and everything returned to its original state.
