[Riven's POV]
Sleep had been impossible after Elena's revelations. Riven had spent the remaining hours until dawn clutching her keycard, staring at the ceiling and trying to process everything she'd told him.
The Guild had been watching his family. His recruitment wasn't even random. His friends were also leverages.
And tonight, they planned to transfer him to a facility where he'd be turned into a weapon.
When Cross appeared in the dormitory doorway at 0600, something was different about his demeanor.
Gone was the calculating smile and casual conversation.....
Now he was just staring at him with an emotionless gaze.
"Mr. Duke. Time for your classification evaluation."
It seems they don't wanna pretend anymore.He didn't mention if there's development or improvement today....it seems Elena was right after all.
Riven followed Cross through sections of the facility he'd never seen before.
