-Joel POV-
It's strange to see those pairs of duos together, Caleb and Aria. I saw them running amid rain inside the archive room, just the two of them. There's no way Aria would cheat with Caleb, isn't she? Then again her affair is not my problem, and yet something about her made my chest tight.
I stared at the door of the archive room from the warehouse windows, the fragrance of petrichor made me feel anxious. It reminds me of the day when my palpitating heartbeat stops at the sight of her undying valor. Unlike Ender, I was a coward and an indecisive man when the chaos happened. I was unreliable and thus I hid my admiration for her.
"Hey, Joel!" Tristan flicked my forehead.
"Ouch! What is it!?" I groaned.
"Have you forgotten our mission! What are you doing dawdling here? Let's go to the sewer" Tristan sighed.
"Oh, right" I nodded as I left the premises with Tristan.
