"You should do it, wasn't that your idea in the first place anyway?" Lorenz said with a pout and even crossed his arms just before Gem barged inside the interrogation room with a judging glance.

The room was silent, the only other sound that went against the silence was Gem's embarrassed footsteps while trying to close the gap between them.

"Hello," she said with an awkward smile before going back to her shy pose.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I so shy around them? Is it because they're older than me but younger than the adults that I've always been used to crossing paths with?" Gem asked herself while trying to make contact with each one of them but failing miserably.

Somehow, ever since she came inside that room and sat on the seat in front of Karizze, everybody had been silent and avoiding eye contact with each other as if they were waiting for something to happen.
