"I met Carlos's grandmother today," Casaio said into the phone as he lowered himself into a chair. "She's a kind woman. Her health isn't great, but she's insisting on helping. Now I understand why Carlos wanted to handle everything on his own."
On the other end of the line, Gabriel asked, "And what did Carlos say about it?"
"Well," Casaio replied, "since his grandmother was desperate to see Amelie, he couldn't bring himself to refuse."
"Then do as Carlos says," Gabriel instructed. "And… thank you."
There was a brief pause before Casaio's voice softened with concern. "Gabriel, are you getting enough rest?"
"It's not the time to rest. You already know what kind of danger is hovering above Amelie. I am still looking for Ophelia," Gabriel said, leaning against the desk while facing the window.
"For a good fight, a good rest is needed," Carlos remarked.
