Walking up to the receptionist, Lyra extended her hunter ID toward him, her voice unusually quiet as she spoke:
"H-hi there… I'm here to update my hunter ID."
The receptionist stared at her for a moment, a flicker of confusion crossing his face, before he suddenly gasped audibly as if struck by a revelation.
Swiftly reaching out, he took hold of her ID and scanned it on his terminal.
A confirmation beep echoed through the air, and his gaze shifted back to Lyra, now filled with awe and disbelief.
Stuttering slightly, he managed to speak:
"Miss Amanda, you... You're alive?"
Lyra played her part, assuming a pained expression as if reminded of a haunting memory.
Her voice trembled as she said:
"Yes, I... I managed to survive. Unfortunately, the others weren't as lucky. But… But I didn't do anything wrong… I SWEAR I DIDN'T!"
