— Thank you.
Ryohei returned to the boy and, lowering his voice to almost a whisper so that only Karl could hear, he said:
— Listen, here's the thing. When you want to hide, darkness can help, but in this particular room, it's better to act differently. Hiding in a closet is an option, but if they're looking for you, they'll easily check everywhere, so the smart thing to do is to try to leave the search area unnoticed. Now, I and the guards will leave the room. While we're gone, you hide behind the door. After a minute, we'll come back, and you try to slip through the door unnoticed before it closes. If you succeed, come back right away; it doesn't matter if they see you after you're through the door, that can already be considered a success. If you don't succeed, that's okay, it's just practice. Try to choose the best moment, be as quiet and careful as possible. So, are you ready?

- Maybe then in a mass battle? It might be even harder, but there's not much else to do anyway, and maybe I'll learn something.
