Arlo Seys got into the car with the packed meals and drove back to Royal View City.
In the car, Arlo's eyes couldn't help but glance at the food, and his fingers tightened around the steering wheel. On the bustling evening streets of City C, cars surged continuously, yet Arlo felt a chilling sensation around him, as if it were swallowing him whole.
It was fifty minutes later when he arrived at Royal View City. Arlo parked the car at the gate, his fingers reaching towards the food before abruptly pulling back, his eyes showing a complex emotion.
He sat there, lost in thought for two minutes. When his fingers reached for the food again, he quickly took out a box of medicine from the car drawer and opened it.
Arlo's fingers hooked a container filled with chicken soup from the thermos, and as he opened the medicine, bit by bit, his actions were slow and his fingertips trembled violently.
