In room 266…
Scar had been unconscious for hours, lying dormant without any sign of stirring. The fight for his life was happening in the Supreme Council room, where a few people were doing what they could.
In the room itself, beside his unresponsive body, there was only Julien and Purple.
Julien had anticipated a reaction from Purple, a tantrum at minimum, given that he had killed Mike, one of the Kugo clan's Four Wings.
That was the kind of thing that carried consequences. But Purple, for all her unpredictability, wasn't giving him anything that looked like displeasure.
Nothing about her pointed toward punishment. Julien didn't fully trust her, but he trusted what he could observe, and this wasn't it.
