"Shall we start over? Or would you rather continue from where this would have gone?" Sylvester asks in an intimidating tone which causes Fiku to shake slightly.

Sylvester releases her hand and steps away from her slowly while keeping a stern gaze fixed upon her face.
"Before we get to that, I need to check on someone," he tells her curtly while pointing towards a door behind them, and then walks past her without looking back, leaving a stunned and confused Fiku standing alone with a blank expression on her face.
