Chapter 293: Unexpected Guest IV
Seven Sins System Chapter 293. Unexpected Guest IV
"Connection... Can you explain more?" I asked Aria, my skepticism evident in my tone. Her hug had offered comfort, but her cryptic words had sparked curiosity, and I wasn't one to let things slide easily.
She released me from her embrace and shook her head, a wistful smile gracing her lips. "I'm sorry, Allen. I can't explain it," she replied, her eyes carrying a depth of meaning that left me even more intrigued.
My persistence wouldn't waver so easily. "Why? Didn't you say you were my friend?" I pressed, my determination to unravel the mysteries surrounding her only growing stronger.
Her response, however, held a tinge of concern for my safety. "This is for your safety. I don't want to make the demons target you," she explained calmly as if every word was chosen carefully to protect me.
I let out a snort of frustration, a mixture of respect for her caution and exasperation for the lack of straightforward answers.
"Goodnight, Allen. Rest well," she concluded our conversation, her words accompanied by a gentle smile. With a swift movement, she used her teleportation skill, vanishing from my view.
I watched the spot where she had stood for a moment, a mix of emotions swirling within me. "Right... Just give me some breadcrumbs to crack," I muttered to myself, my annoyance evident.
My thoughts turned to the questions I still had. Who had gone berserk? What had happened in my absence? These were answers I needed, and while my interactions with Aria hadn't provided all the information I sought, I knew I had to tread carefully. Pushing too hard might lead to more trouble, and that was the last thing I needed.
With a sigh, I shifted my focus to the immediate task at hand — finding a way to extract information from Aria without exposing my identity. "I will think about that tomorrow," I murmured to the empty room.
I decided it was finally time to call it a night. Undressing and shedding the day's worries, I plopped my tired body onto my bed. The softness of the mattress greeted me, and I closed my eyes, ready to let the world slip away into my sleep.
She took a shaky breath, her quivering lips pressing together in a tight line. Aria knew that if she let it out, the scream would be primal.
Deciding to calm herself, Aria's footsteps echoed softly as she headed towards the kitchen, her thoughts still swirling. She needed something to ground her. Water. Yeah, water sounded good right now.
In the dimly lit kitchen, she grabbed a glass and filled it with water from the tap. The cool liquid felt soothing against her trembling hand as she brought the glass to her lips and took a long, slow sip. She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the simple sensation of drinking water wash over her.
Taking a deep breath, she set the glass down on the counter and leaned against it. The rhythmic sound of her own breath filled the silence, a reminder that she was still here, still real. She let the air flow in and out of her lungs, each inhale and exhale helping to steady her racing heart.
