I took an involuntary step back, away from Alice, no, away from the necklace. Dozens of questions popped up in my mind.
Was Alice... an elf? And if so, how could she have the exact same necklace as mine? Why does an elf remain a 'student' here, in the kingdom of humans...?
I have my own reasons, I'm not even a full elf and so I didn't grow up in elven culture. But if Alice is an elf, why would she go to an academy in a human kingdom?
I paused for a moment when I realized that I was starting to overstrain my brain.
Actually... why am I thinking about this so much? I'm overthinking again... She must have her own reasons too, right?
Yes, exactly. I... will pretend I didn't see that.
I looked at Alice who was sleeping comfortably in her bed, my eyes drifted back to the necklace hanging from her neck and I sighed.
"I'm sorry."
I bowed my head and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened, closing the door slowly and quietly.
