Preparing To leave - Disturbing Reports from the south

⁜ Vincent POV

The once quiet office of Vincent became filled with the scent of ink and paper being scribbled with the addition of Mary and Gladys. Several scientists and workers more skilled than the village members appeared to help with daily tasks.

"Vincent, will you stay here or head to Arkansaw?" Mary asked, fingertips tapping the stack of finished paperwork, his former desk now hers.

Vincent wasn't angry, though; since they came, his workload decreased by half, and he could finally focus on his time as a guardian and Claudia, who also enjoyed this new setup.

'Originally, I wanted to go...'

"No, your team is more professional. Also, this village feels like home."

Mary nodded to Vincent's response. He was always a smart boy. Maybe that's why she entrusted him with guiding Seth when he was younger.
