The dim lamp in the corridor was the only source of light for Miriette, but it was giving enough light for her to see Zoemi's face.
As for the black-haired boy, he could see in the dark so the source of light behind the dark-haired girl did not obscure her face in any way either.
The two of them stayed like that for a few seconds, just looking at each other and...
(Master!)
"!!!!"
A voice called out from the depths of Zoemi's mind, causing him to jolt in absolute shock.
It wasn't Ludier's shadow – it was the voice of the bear that the black-haired boy heard while experiencing the events from three hundred years back!
(Master! I will protect...!)
SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHE ISN'T YOUR MASTER!|
