My intention was to confirm Reiss' demise and then make a swift exit from this place. However, it seems things have taken an unexpected turn.
"Jayden!" Carla, abandoning any pretense of secrecy, leaped into Jayden's embrace, hugging him tightly.
"Sir... Nyrel?" Miranda's tangerine eyes locked onto me, widening with realization. "You're the person from the Falkrona Enigma Dungeon, aren't you?"
"N-Nyrel?" Carla turned to me, her lips twitching uncertainly.
"You know him, Carla?" Jayden, still embracing Carla, inquired.
"Ah, yes," Carla replied, catching sight of my glare. "He's someone I just met... What about all of you? It seems you're familiar with him?"

"And?" Jayden prodded.
