During the team meeting, Remedy had looked perfectly composed.
Her voice was measured and she made clear deductions with no hesitation.
But that wasn't the full truth.
Beneath that calm exterior, something had been gnawing at her.
And it had to do with Adam.
Despite being a regressor and having seen fragments of the future….
She hadn't been able to warn him about William and Reliance.
It had been a potential threat to his life.
And she hadn't seen it coming.
That fact sat like a splinter in her chest and it made her feel useless.
The word echoed louder the more she tried to ignore it.
She hated that feeling.
So she came here.
Adam looked at her evenly.
"But is there really a need to apologize?" he asked. "It wasn't your fault."
"I know."
She walked past him and sat on the edge of his bed.
The dampness from her hair slowly soaked into the sheets but Adam seeing this chose not to comment.
She slouched slightly, shoulders lowered.
