"Over here, Cain!"
A familiar voice echoed within the medium-sized hall. Turning my head towards the voice, I saw Hazy and her squad members, all dressed in green, tight-fitting training suits.
Hazy was doing light stretches alongside Fiv, while Sam walked towards me, welcoming me with a hug and a smile that wasn't present when we first met. Confusion crossed my face, causing me to pause for a few seconds as I contemplated this new reaction from him.
'Strange,' I thought, but I didn't fail to return the hug.
Hazy, several meters away from me, didn't fail to notice my slight hesitation and spoke out.
"Fiv lost a bet with Sam, which explains the overly excited expression on Sam's face," She said while continuing her light stretches.
Fiv, whose face hung low, felt betrayed after realizing how quickly his embarrassing moment was revealed.
"Oh, okay," I muttered, coming to realize why Sam was overly excited.
