Chapter 58 - Pain of Knowledge
Old man Rui settled in the offered chair and Huo 's hands were placed in his, he quietly breathed deep breaths and Huo attempted to follow. It was clear this was not the first time, as he shuttered through his breath. His eyes were puffy and red, his face was a mess, someone offered a fresh handkerchief, and it was thoroughly utilized. A cup of water hovered in front of his face. Obediently sips were taken.
'Report, ' Rui asked softly.
'You know me Rui, I don 't rest well after shit like this. Especially after
monsters
like Kaplan, ' fresh tears rolled down his cheeks.
The old man scanned the group, 'Anyone from the blue wing? '
'Yes Sir, ' came a reply from the crowd, though apparently too short to see, 'The women are settling, we 've made sure children are connected properly and those who can are settled in housing. Procedures are in place. '
