Zephyr placed his cutlery beside his plate, leaving everything neatly in its proper place.
The two Espers who had stayed behind to keep an eye on him quietly followed a few steps behind, exchanging uneasy glances.
Jake was supposed to lead them.
Their orders had been simple: once they found Zephyr, they were to interrogate him and immediately report their findings.
But instead, they had brought him all the way back to the Association. The most sensible thing to do now was to escort Zephyr straight to the interrogation room and avoid getting into even more trouble.
However, with both Jake and Lucien having left them alone with Zephyr, neither of them knew what they were supposed to do now.
So, they did the only thing they could think of.
They followed him.
The commotion outside the cafeteria gradually faded as Zephyr walked closer to the exit.
By the time he stepped through the doors, the loud noise had died down completely.
Silence greeted them.
