BAM!
Penny, Zoren, and Slater ran out of the kitchen to see what was happening. But when they arrived, all they saw was Atlas, still seated on the same couch, their broken front door, and some noises coming from outside.
"Uh…" Penny blinked, her thoughts filling with question marks. "Where is Second Brother?"
The three of them naturally turned to Atlas. But alas, he remained idle in the chair. Slowly, Atlas cracked one eye open and stared at them.
"He lost his mind." As usual, Atlas's tone carried no concern. "That's what happened."
Penny and Slater exchanged glances, studying Atlas. Although his face was flushed, he didn't seem to have the same overwhelming urge as Zoren nor the same dilemma as Slater.
Ignoring Hugo's absence for a moment, Penny cautiously approached her eldest brother.
"Uh…" She cleared her throat, prompting Atlas to raise a brow. "First Brother, is there something you need?"
"Water," he replied. "I did tell you to bring me some."
