While Celes and Laz were engaged in the strangest sex of their lives, outside of Laz's room, there was a group of people gathered with a worried look on their faces.
Nora, who was the first one to find Laz's trail, stood at the door and kept knocking at different spots on the wooden door. While it seemed random, she was engrossed into it, so much so that she didn't notice anything else.
Around her, Gretchen, Wilma and other members of the council had gathered as well while Gia, Joan and other members of the security teams stood by, making sure no one else got too close.
From underneath the door a strange miasma seeped out, wisps of pure black smoke that almost froze the air as it blew by. The reason everyone was keeping their distance was because of this. Anyone not strong enough who touched it would have whatever came into contact with it freeze completely. It had happened to Wilma when she first arrived, but thankfully her strength was enough to dispel the cold poison.
