Amidst the lively chatter of the crowd, Amelia Cobb noticed the man sitting next to her.
His face was completely covered by a baseball cap and a mask.
Before she could react, a hand extended towards her.
Amelia Cobb: ...
"Here's the program," said Henry Wood gently, his voice pulling Amelia back to reality.
Just moments earlier, she had been marveling at being 20 years old again, but with Henry's appearance, she realized that she was still embroiled in a web of intrigue.
"Thank you," she said, taking the program.
"Feels like we've returned to our college days," commented Henry Wood in his gentle tone, trying to lead Amelia's thoughts back to the past.
But Amelia Cobb had been on guard since morning, unaffected by Henry Wood's nostalgic comments.
"I don't think I can resonate with Translator Wood, since we come from different eras," Amelia responded, indifferent and gentle, without emotion.
