Javin refused to say anything and he became increasingly quiet. Forth couldn't do anything to make him talk, but at least Javin wasn't avoiding him anymore.
He still did his job and duties well, being as friendly and cheerful as ever, but he kept his distance.
Forth noticed that Javin was avoiding his touch and no longer even looked him in the eye when he spoke. There was something empty in Forth's heart, but he wasn't sure what.
"Forth! Hey, you've been daydreaming," said Jock annoyed. "Look! You haven't even flipped through the document since earlier."
Forth looked down at the document Jock pointed at and realized he was still on the same page from earlier.
"Ah, I got distracted," Forth muttered. He put down the pen in his hand and stretched as he leaned back in his chair. "Can I postpone this document first?"
"Sure. It's not too urgent," Jock said. He closed the document in front of Forth. "Now tell me what happened?"
"Hm? Nothing, I guess."
