"It's you!!"
He couldn't believe his eyes at all. This was probably one of the, if not the, most shocking things he had ever experienced in his life.
Countless emotions swirled through his wildly beating heart in that split moment. So much so that he felt his heart would burst open from within.
First came the terrifying shock that the Headmaster was also part of the Cult, and thus the reason for his casual expression when Adam divulged the information.
Then, when his gaze landed on this newcomer, his heart sank.
He couldn't help but wonder if this person also turned out to be a Cult spy… then how deeply corrupted had the Brotherhood become?
This man appeared impossibly old, his skin thin and pale like weathered parchment stretched over his bones and muscles, etched with deep lines of countless years.
