A few moments ago, Arthur, Elizabeth, Aiden, Aaron, Evangeline, Julia, and Isabella had also reached the hall where the results were being shown. The wide room was already packed with candidates, but as Arthur walked at the front of their group, the crowd reacted instantly.
Murmurs spread.
Heads turned.

Arthur moved forward without hurrying, hands in his pockets, gaze fixed ahead.
He glanced to his side, where Aiden walked with a stiff expression, his shoulders slightly tense. Aiden's eyes were unfocused, as if he was doing numbers in his head over and over again.
Arthur could almost hear the amount echoing behind his eyes.
