Adam and Esmond sat in silence.
On the valley floor below, Esmond's men were busy taking care of the survivors. Valerian still lay beside the sleeping Genevieve, silently guarding her.
Luca appeared to be chatting with Leah, wondering where Aramen had disappeared to. They highly doubted that he had died.
All in all, the survivors seemed to have finally relaxed as they arrived back in the material world.
"You got wine?" Adam suddenly asked.
Esmond, who had been quietly fidgeting with his fingers, was startled by that request. He brushed his fingers on the ring, sending his consciousness inside the storage space.
A moment later, a wine bottle appeared in his hand. He silently passed it to Adam.
Adam glanced at the label and smiled. "From the Rabbit Hole…"
He uncorked the bottle and took a large swig. Then another. And another. Until finally, he was barely satiated after half the bottle had been consumed.
"Darren was the reason Kara and Koby died," he said casually.
