Delilah had already sighed more times than she could count since morning.
From driving to Climber Rift to drop Elaine off at work, to moving her daughters' belongings, her research data, and even crates filled with ammunition and guns, she hadn't had a moment to rest, and yet the sighs kept coming.
Her daughters clearly noticed something was wrong, but they didn't ask, as if they already understood the reason.
They did question Gideon's behavior, though, wondering why he suddenly acted that way, but Delilah couldn't bring herself to tell them that his coldness was directed only at her and not at them.
After dropping her daughters off at Climber Rift and finally getting some time to continue her research paper on the Verdant Devourer's behavior, updating the work left behind by her late husband, she went to the Freebound headquarters to submit the data.
While waiting for Elaine to finish her work, she ended up in a pub, sitting alone with a glass of beer in front of her.
