Escape

"Excellent! It was wise to let someone like James handle this." Liam nodded in satisfaction. Only now could he relax, sitting back in his chair and taking a sip of tea, glancing at the ceiling and sipping comfortably, hoping the piercing screams would soon pass.

Not far away, Lewis had begun to calm down after a long conversation with James. She wiped her tears but continued to sob. At that moment, she hesitated slightly and suddenly asked James:

"So, what if the reason for living no longer exists?"

Hearing these words, James already knew the answer, but he quietly looked at Liam, who was drinking tea, and then glanced away, somewhat embarrassed. He hesitated before replying:

"I'll talk to you about this later. Right now, saying anything won't solve the problem."
