The next day. Theo continued hunting the ants.
After meeting the group, he didn't find a single human anymore, realizing the group had indeed taken the mission.
He felt relieved and terrible at the same time.
Although he didn't mind killing people, he wasn't someone who thoughtlessly murdered others just because he wanted something. So, if he didn't hunt in this mission, he wouldn't have to meet them.
However, he also felt relieved since he wasn't required to kill other people anymore. In fact, those people might have done the same thing to many others, considering the entire group didn't react to the leader's decision. It showed how much they had gotten used to this type of thing.
Theo ended up brushing the matter off with a long sigh and focused on the ants.
This was the time Theo started feeling the loss of Ava.
