A little earlier, after the guests had settled down, those who wanted to dance with their partners began making their way to the dance floor for the Last Dance.
Ezra watched them leave their seats.
"Yes."
He muttered the word to himself, moving his right hand slightly, as though celebrating his escape from having to dance.
His expression remained as plain as ever, giving nothing away.
He had managed to avoid the dance after all.
Ping!
Ping!
His Starlix 11 vibrated multiple times in his trouser pocket as he walked towards the section of tables where Diane was peacefully sleeping.
Plus, Cyrus and Lyra were no longer seated in the area.
He glanced at their empty seats but didn't bother wondering where they had gone.
There were plenty of people moving around the Grand Royal Hall now that the guests were preparing for the final dance.
They could have gone anywhere.
Besides, the notification sound had caught his attention.
