Chapter 16 - Brian's Report?

• "Zar!" Brian’s voice suddenly echoed as he swung open Elzar’s office door without knocking.
• Dalia instinctively let out a breath of relief the moment Brian walked in. The tension that had been hanging heavily in the air seemed to dissipate with his arrival. She didn’t know why exactly, but she felt incredibly grateful that Brian had shown up at just the right time.
• Elzar’s questions had been replaying in her mind, making her restless. Her tongue felt tied, unsure of how to respond. But now, Brian’s presence felt like a lifeline in the middle of a storm. Dalia almost whispered a silent thank you in her heart.
