#Chapter14
---At midnight they met again-03

/"Why?/"
A sigh flurried past his pink lips and the stranger bit the tip of his thumb again. /"I like talking to you./"
/"I…/"
/"We never talked to each other before… it’s… it’s nice./"
/"I still don’t know your name though. It feels a bit weird for me./"
/"Then how about you give me a name?/"
This dude must really be lonely and desperate for friends. Such a pity that he came to seek friendship from a hermit like me. His voice sounded two parts hopeful three parts desperate. Ryder felt a bit helpless against that voice.
/"Wouldn’t that be weird for you?/"
