Belle mumbled, "I'm tired" and let her body free-fall on the soft bed in her room. She didn't know what was going on with Allen anymore. It felt like he was annoying them intentionally, at the same time, she wasn't really annoyed by his sudden change in attitude. In fact, she was happy that he was reaching out to her voluntarily.
[You like that guy?!] Ceres exclaimed deep inside her mind which made Belle roll her eyes. Ceres always makes simple things a big deal.
"I like him as a friend. Allen was never mean to me. Although we rarely spent time together, when I needed him the most, he was there for me."
[Then, where was he when you found out about Neon's condition?]
Belle sank into silence for a moment. "I didn't tell him anything about Neon. I'm not even sure if he has found out the truth already. As a person, I don't want him to think that I neglected my brother and that almost cost him his life."
[Does his opinion matter?]
"I don't know."
