For some reason, that particular word popped out again.
Lewis once told me about something similar before - a kind of spell that makes dreams come true. I only took that as his way of consoling me that time, though. It's nothing but a word of solace for when reality became too much to handle that I hoped for something non-existent to barge in between and make the impossible happen. After all, I never had any personal encounter with magic before.
"What's with that face? You don't believe in magic?"
Then, I gape.
I wonder what are the odds that the two of them would spout out the same response to my skeptical reaction. Lewis also said that to me when I only lifted a doubtful eyebrow at his uncalled-for speech about magic. Now, I'm starting to get curious about the topic even more. I may be dubious when it comes to matters like this, but I'm still an open-minded individual.
"Didn't you sign a contract with my old man?" Alexander continued, making me blink at him in bafflement.
