[Please note: We're still in Hora's POV - continuing their discussion about Senara and the world's balance…]

A moment of silence passed by. Aunt Vora gave me time to calm my heart and ease my mind, even though it seemed impossible at that moment. But I did my best—for Senara. We still needed to discuss what I had to do to help her.

Once calm, I asked Aunt Vora, ”I'm ready. What do I need to do?”

”First, we need to identify what exactly caused the disruption,” Aunt Vora started. ”Which of Senara's actions caused the deviation from the original path it was supposed to take. Let's say, from the time that her dad was saved. Do you know anything that happened last year which may have caused that?”

”How am I supposed to know which one? A lot happened back then.”

”Tell me all the events that you remember.”

And so, I told Aunt Vora everything I knew about those scammers that threatened Sena's dad, up to that day where Sena was suddenly called by Sir Greg from class saying her dad was waiting for her, and the news about a large company suddenly caught from doing illegal business—which was were those scammers worked for. That's how Sena's dad was saved. ”Somebody” worked to catch those bad guys. But who? Sena wouldn't be able to do it.

”Wait a minute… what if, it's not Sena who disrupted the balance but instead, that person who caught those bad scammers and brought their evil deeds to light? Those bully big whales?! If that's the case then nothing should happen to Sena, right?”

”If that's true, then that's really good news,” Aunt Vora smiled. ”But knowing Fatum Praeses, they will dig deep into the issue and look at the root cause of the disruption—the catalyst. We have to make sure that Senara did not contribute to the disruption in any way possible. Anything at all that may have triggered the change. Is there anything else you remember? Even really small details. Sometimes, those small details we tend to overlook are the source of it all.”

I tried hard to think further about what else I could be missing. It was then that Verrill finally spoke and gave his thoughts on the matter.

”There is one thing I have in mind,” Verrill said, his face furrowed. ”If there was anyone who could easily step on those big whales that you mentioned, it would be… Kaiden. Just one word from him and he can dispatch a group of experts or anyone needed to catch those people. If it's too complex for him, he can ask his dad, Mr. Ma. So maybe, they're the ones responsible for catching those bad guys.”

My face began to pale up.

'What he's saying… I think I know where this is going.'
