There were two things that I was thinking of right now.
One, I could deny the fact that I was still a little shaken by the sudden meeting with Rafael, twice.
Two, I could tell the rest of them about how rude they were for staring at me non-stop.
After Lotty had enveloped me in a tight hug, telling me that it was okay to be vulnerable and me reassuring them over and over again that I was fine, my effort turned out to be futile as they hardly believed any of it anyway.
They were still looking at me as if waiting for me to break down or something. If they were expecting me to cry, they can wait forever but that will never happen and there was no probability for me to start becoming a cry baby.
Yet, I can't tell them that, can I? I mentally shook my head and sighed.
"Are you all going to spend the night staring at me?" I remarked, eyeing each of them who were inside the living room of Hero's former apartel.
