Never Again, Never Will Be

After going back to the dining hall and making sure that Vernadette is still not in the state of mind to deal with anyone, Ercilia proceeds with the plan. 

She first surveyed the area where she could freely roam around in. Everyone just leave her be for she didn't particularly receive any restraining order. She was told not to go near a certain part, though – just a couple of corridors away, there lies a heavily guarded room. It wasn't that hard to figure out why that place was out-of-bounds. She decided to check on it after conducting an observation at where she currently was.   

'So, that's how it is…' Ercilia pondered. 

'All of those who were brought here were apparently of high value, and even though they're not locked up anymore, there are these so-called handlers who're keeping them under strict surveillance.'

Iorwerth is definitely onto something by taking them here. Ercilia can only think of this as a delusive tactic.
