It was the exact same day Lucian was being taken through the portal...
Everyone else had already left. Only Iris and Cassian remained behind. Cassian started to leave as well, but stopped after taking a few steps when he realized Iris wasn't following him.
"Hey—what's wrong? Aren't you coming?"
Iris's face was completely neutral.
"You go ahead. I will come in a few moments."
Cassian lingered there for a few seconds, staring at her, before turning around and walking away.
"Tch... fucking weirdo," he muttered under his breath.
Once she was finally entirely alone, she walked over toward the bushes on her left.
"Where is it... ah, yes, here it is..."
She reached in and picked up a hidden memory crystal. Walking a little further ahead, strangely enough, there was another memory crystal hidden there. She picked that one up too. Then, crossing over to the right side of the area, she retrieved another one left hanging from a tree branch.
