Chapter 159: Veiled Words, Heartfelt Farewells

The time had come.

Finally, the last episode of the tenth season of [The Curator] was about to air.

As fans of the show, both old and new, waited in a mix of anxiety and anticipation for the last episode to begin airing in a few minutes, Jon, Barry, Tiana and Bruno, alongside various other DreamLand Inc. employees, watched the metrics of the tuned in viewers for the show.

Currently sitting in the same private screening hall as before, the broadcast of the last episode was being projected side by side with the metrics to give everyone a real-time tracking for any spikes or dips in viewership.

There was also a lively chatter in the room that wasn't too loud but wasn't exactly silent either as the employees discussed their various thoughts on what to expect from the last episode.

"The episode hasn't even started yet and we're back to the all-time rating of 35.5 million viewers." Bruno commented as he noted the constantly increasing metric of tuned in viewers.

"Yeah. At the rate it's even going, I wouldn't be surprised if it cracks 36 million…" Barry responded with an acknowledging nod, only to get silenced by Tiana who gently placed a finger on her lips.

"Shhh. It's starting." she politely told her fellow colleagues, her words simultaneously and indirectly, silencing everyone else in the room as the recap of the previous episode was being shown.

Jon who was watching too mused to himself, the iconic theme of the show playing as the names of the main cast was being shown in an infinite, looping wormhole.

'36 million huh…'

'I'd bet on 38 million though.' Quentin's sugar-gray irises, was noticeably relaxed as he watched the first scene of the show's last episode.

"W-w-what happened to the sexy, brilliant dame?!" Gabriella's tone was evidently distressed, confused and angered the moment the destroyed Horologium and ravaged Index was shown in the first scene.

Originally, she had been sitting side by side with Adam on the couch but the moment the first scene was shown, she immediately sprung off the sofa in instant retaliation while pointing at the TV screen.

"Oh for the love of God…" Adam who was already in similarly straits, had an inkling towards the only set of beings over the course of the show who knew just how to access The Index forcefully.

"We have your associate."

"You will not intervene."

"Intervene in our plans to take over the earth and she will be exterminated."
