253 Ren Dover [1]

Minutes before the explosion, outside of the dome. 

"Jin, you're here."

Kevin approached Jin. 

Looking left and right, he asked.

"Have perhaps you seen Ren anywhere?" 

Staring at the large translucent barrier covering the dome, Jin shook his head. 

"No." 

"Strange..." Kevin murmured. "I thought he'd be here already since he left earlier than me." 

Having left before him, Kevin assumed that Ren had already left the dome. 

'Perhaps he's already left the area?'

Though Plausible, Kevin shook his head. 

Even if he chose to go back, he wouldn't have gotten far. Especially since Ren only left a minute before him. 

Most likely, he was still roaming around here somewhere or was with a professor. 

"Hey, you two! Help out over here!" 

"..uh?"

Snapping Kevin out of his thoughts was a rough voice. Turning his head, Kevin spotted a professor in the distance.
