Clink!
The heavy door shut completely behind him.
For a few seconds, Theo remained standing there in the quiet hallway.
The coldness lingering around his body slowly faded away.
Yet somehow, he felt worse than before.
Finally, he let out a quiet breath and began walking through the corridor again.
'They must've had a pretty complex relationship,' he thought.
Even now, Elise's reaction felt strange to him.
The anger, curses, and then the complete silence at the mention of her death.
Theo lowered his head slightly.
'She might explain it to me one day…'
At the thought of Alia, his mind couldn't help but shift to the house she'd left behind in New York.
The inheritance papers were still very vividly present in his mind, after all.
'I should go check it out later with the others,' he thought, nodding to himself.
A free house wasn't something he wanted to ignore.
Especially not considering he and his friends still needed somewhere permanent to live near Westridge.
