The sound of iron banging glass rang out as a person said, "May I have your attention, please?"
The sound wasn't loud at all but the wearer of it knew it was enough as almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the end of the stage where a man stood.

My wife… might not be here with us tonight but I know that she is with us in spirit." Haiel said and continued his speech as I thought of something and asked Arthur.
"Can you see what time it is?"
"Hmm, It's 9:25 PM."
