"Xavier, are you in there? Please reply to me, huh!?" Iris called again after a few attempts, but nothing came out of his mouth. Not even a hmmm. "Are you all right?" she asked worriedly, concerned that something might have happened to him in the bathroom.
Iris was growing increasingly tense. Several minutes had passed since she called him, yet there was no response.
"Xavier, I'll count to three. If you don't answer me, I'll force my way in!" She said, preparing herself to break down the door. "One... Two... Three..." She counted, yet there was still no response.
Iris had no other option but to forcefully open the door. She gripped the doorknob and was stunned to find the door was unlocked. As the door swung open, her eyes widened in surprise.
"You—" Iris suddenly froze when Xavier's finger snapped in the air.
