"They..."
Chase Gallagher wanted to explain.
But in the end, he said nothing.
"We have a common area in the main hall,
where you can discuss Superpowers and things like that,
so feel free to check it out if you're bored."
Molly Ulrich seemed to have other things to attend to and hurried off after saying this.
Paisley Paige looked at Nina Jacobs, her face full of worry.
"If she's really leveling up, then it's a good thing,
so don't worry too much."
Wendy Marshall came over to comfort her.
"Let's let her rest quietly for now.
It should be safe here for a while, and besides..."
Chase Gallagher looked at Wayne Warner, who hadn't left Nina Jacobs's side for a moment.
With him around, it seemed no one could get near Nina Jacobs.
And as a fellow man, he could see that Wayne Warner's gaze held not a single trace of impurity.
It was the gaze of a guardian.
'Maybe our presence here is superfluous...'
Paisley Paige realized this as well.
