Both of them just stood there staring at each other. It was like the giant commotion going on right beside them didn't exist. Valentina narrowed her eyes, trying to judge whether Dahlia's words were genuine, all the while, Dahlia had her mind racing as she tried to figure out what the hell was wrong with her!
She had never experienced emotions like this and her quick witted nature had deteriorated. The sluggishness of her thinking was similar to how it was when she had her bouts of intense anxiety but… it didn't feel as bad in this case.
Despite not being bad, she was still confused and a little scared by her current mental state. It was like she was seeing colour for the first time in a grey world, and no matter how refreshing or exciting it could be, without an explanation, it was bound to be unknown and scary. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she was. She felt excited but… maybe there was something wrong with her?
