When Eric was first detained by officer Brooks, he assumed he'd just need to explain himself, sign some papers, and be out in no time.

They should've been grateful to him. If nothing else, they could've at least treated him like a valued guest, maybe even offered him Sera's hand in marriage.
But instead, things had taken an absurd turn. The officers had tried contacting the Kleinberg family, only for them to coldly claim they didn't know who Eric was.
"Hah, Kleinberg family. Bunch of Blind fools!" Eric muttered with a mocking smile as he picked up his bedding and walked toward the cell assigned to him.
The temporary detention center wasn't particularly large, but it was crowded with all sorts of petty criminals.
As soon as Eric stepped inside, all eyes turned toward him.
