Chapter 431- Festival 162- The Sun Comet 11

'Why is she here?' 

The question dropped like an iron pin in the Pacific. 

Starting a whirl of thoughts that only led to confusion. 

Nicho's once calm and lighthearted mood had taken a turn for the worse. 

Because, unlike Louis who was amid a moral crisis, Ciara had already long forged hers. 

If she so much as decides he was better off dead, then he would be. 

'Hah…how low I've fallen.' 

He thought as he watched her make her way up the chain of Pipelines to get to them. 

As he watched her in the eerie silence, his thoughts broke into different compartments 

One searching for a means out, another calculating the right choice of words to use in his carefully laid out predicament. And the last thought questioned her sudden appearance. 

'How is she here?' 

Thus, his question evolved as such. 

'There was a clear trap…wasn't there?' 

It dawned on him slowly. Evidently. A finality served cold on a platter.
