Evan was smacked right back out of the Cabinet Meeting Room and onto the floor, crashing in the middle of the hallway while the guards stationed at the far end turned in shock.
They quickly snapped out of it and began rushing over, but Eliza, who had stepped aside just before Evan was sent flying, raised a hand to stop them before turning her gaze toward Kayla, who was holding Evan tightly.
"Nice to see you again, Kayla. How've you been?"
Evan spoke with a small laugh as he rubbed the spirit's head, but she only buried her face in his chest, holding onto him as tightly as she could.
He sat up, about to say something, when something caught his attention from the corner of his eye.
"Hmm?"
Evan glanced toward Eliza just as she looked away and stepped into the room, and for a moment, he silently stared after her.
'Am I tripping, or did Liz just glare at Kayla?'
