"You have? I knew i could count on you!" He responded with a bright smile.
Startled by his words and the smile, Sophie slowly looked away. Her cheeks slightly reddened as she did so.
"...Yeah."
Seeing this, Xavier suddenly leaned in before pressing his hand against her forehead.
"You're all red, did you catch a cold from staying out here in the rain?"
Sophie quietly shook her head and pushed away his hand. "I'm fine... More importantly, look at this."
She showed him the cube. Before it was a regular hunk of metal with outlined parts, but just as Xavier had suspected the parts were a puzzle.
Sophie seemed to have figured out the order of the puzzle and was working on it. It'd reached the point where some of the parts were sticking out while still keeping its cubic shape.
"The outlined parts can protrude outwards." Said Sophie as she fidgeted around with it. "If you pull this part here, this section opens up which allows you to pull out this part here."
