As David jogged towards the direction where he felt the presence of Lillian, he gave Asahi a thumbs-up, who remained at a distance as a discreet observer. As David approached Lillian, he greeted her with a friendly smile, "Hey, what a coincidence! We meet again."
Lillian stopped jogging as well and returned the smile, though it seemed forced and tinged with nervousness. "Oh, hi," she replied softly.
David tried to strike up a conversation, "I hope you're doing well. I didn't get the chance to properly introduce myself yesterday. I'm David."
Lillian nodded, "Yes, I remember."
Before David could inquire further, she quickly interjected, "I'm sorry, I have to go. It was nice meeting you again," and she hurriedly resumed her jogging, leaving David standing there, slightly perplexed.
