239 Where is she? (2)

When Grandma Derry's words reached his ears, Orion felt the urge to ask about the duration of Fiona's absence. However, before he could utter a word, a loud and exasperated sigh escaped from beside him. "I thought they would have found her by now," Fiona expressed, her voice filled with disappointment. "It's such a shame that they haven't," she lamented, her spirits dampened by Grandma Derry's untimely interruption. 

But, despite her sense of frustration, Fiona recognized the severity of the situation and understood the impact that the retired warrior's disappearance could have on the village.

After hearing her words, Orion was suddenly crushed by a feeling of agitation rushing through his body. The realization that he was likely the only one oblivious to such crucial information struck him. Instantly feeling overwhelmed, he couldn't shake the emotion that he was somehow responsible for Fiona's disappearance.
