"Oh... hello!"
Aiden stood up, quite elated, and then stretched as if he had just woken up.
I couldn't move a muscle, I just stared at him, and finally, I forcefully gulped.
"A- Aiden?"
I can feel the chaotic energy coming from him, his expression tells me everything, but...
How... can I accept this?
Aiden narrowed his eyes and looked into mine. His devilish smile didn't drop a bit, he was enjoying himself.
I thought of his determined expression just a few days ago, yelling because he was hurting during practice but never backing down.
He wasn't my best student, not even a genius, but he never gave up. That's why I liked teaching him something.
For a person like him... to be in a situation like that...
It's...
Without realizing it, I was lost in thought, and Aiden disappeared as if he had been waiting for this all along.
