Limb for Limb Game 1

At the Market

Caelen and Ryan continued walking when they spotted Reina and Veralia ahead. The girls rushed over.

"Welcome back," Caelen greeted.

"Yeah," Veralia and Reina replied in unison.

"Did you find anything useful?" he asked.

Reina shook her head. "No, nothing. Everyone either doesn't know or pretends not to."

"It's fine," Caelen replied. "At least we got a lead."

"A lead?" Reina raised a brow.

Ryan nodded. "We just confirmed that it was a green-eyed shadow."

"A green-eyed shadow, huh?" Veralia repeated thoughtfully.

Caelen gave a small nod. "Yeah."

Reina opened her mouth. "Alright, we—"

But Ryan leaned in and whispered something urgently, cutting her off.

He whispers low, and Caelen's eyes slide toward the corner of his eye. His lips pull into a smirk.

He mutters, "Slowly… it seems we have ourselves a guest."

"Shall we?"

Reina and Veralia respond quietly but firmly, "Yes."
