One eternity later...
"Good job," Bing Shi clapped her hand, excitedly, "Uff... Why do I feel more exhausted than you?" She strolled over to her backpack, fetched her water bottle, and took a few refreshing sips.
"..." Ziek wanted to jump out of the window. His mind swirled with an unidentifiable mix of elation, awkwardness, and regret. Did he seriously just put on a one-man show for her?!
Could someone tell him what the heck was Bing Shi doing with his past life?!? She was so chill about everything like a penguin on an iceberg! She treated the whole bizarre thing he did before her like it was just another casual Tuesday.
"Thirsty?" Bing Shi offered him a cup of water.
Taking the cup, Ziek gulped down its contents as if he were parched, not just for water but for clarity.
Bing Shi grinned at Ziek, "You're quite the fan of edging, aren't you?"
