[virtual connection Hobe The Cyan x Anna The Ghost_ ended]
Hobe gazed into Anna's eyes, a storm of emotions brewing in their depths. Anna, in turn, looked back with a complexity of thoughts mirrored in her eyes. Moments later, Anna averted her gaze, breaking the unspoken connection.
"Thank you," Anna murmured, the words hanging in the charged air.
"You're welcome, Anna. I was going to say..." Hobe started, but Anna's intense scrutiny made his words falter.
"What?" Anna's gaze pierced through him, a mixture of suspicion and defiance in her eyes.
Hobe offered a hesitant smile and shook his head, "No. Nothing." It seemed he wasn't supposed to delve further into Anna's thoughts, as if his life depended on it.
The vehicle, steered by Victor, continued its journey through the dilapidated streets, making its way toward the Upper Society facility.
