In the banquet hall.
Manager Mu sat before a computer, his expression utterly calm.
More than a century of life in the Brain Realm had long robbed him of the ability to feel emotional highs and lows.
The other guests, watching Manager Mu's lonely back, felt a pang in their hearts as well.
There was no helping it.
