The moment those words left his mouth, both his partners turned toward him, and only then did he realise he had spoken his thoughts aloud.
He coughed awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Ron and the other Awakened rolled their eyes before shifting their attention back toward the woman standing ahead of them.
Seraphina stood amidst the cracked roadway beneath the sunlight, her icy-blue eyes staring at them coldly.
She hadn't fully heard what the man had muttered earlier, but the look in his eyes alone was enough to make her stomach twist in disgust.
"Miss, what are you doing out here?!" The policeman suddenly shouted, faintly lowering his firearm after realising she wasn't a monster.
But seeing the woman not reacting, he spoke again, louder.
"You should go to safety!"
"What the fuck are you yelling for? There could be monsters nearby."
Hearing the Awakened's words, the policeman stiffened.
Realising his mistake, he quickly nodded.
"Right… sorry."
