(I hesitated here for a moment, not wanting to switch perspectives at this point. Still, I also felt the need to change the point of view. Perhaps this is the difference between an online novel update and a TV drama presentation style. Anyway, I wrote this in a willful manner — Dragon's note.)
...
A Ming had asked, was something missing?
Indeed, something was missing. His name was Xue Three.
Small, short, long.
Siniang replied, "Nope."
It wasn't that Siniang hadn't noticed Xue Three's absence; rather, she thought it was normal for him not to be there. Either he was already dead, killed during the breakout, his body riddled with arrows like a beehive, or he had gone where he needed to go, to do what he had to do. As an assassin, of course, he should be hidden.
