Walking up to the gate proved much more troublesome than Cassie would think… If she spared the task of doing so a single thought beforehand, that is.
Yet, thinking about it or not, she had no other choice but to squeeze through the very same crowd that she organized to reach anywhere near the gate.
"Excuse me," "Yeah, sorry," "I'm sorry," "Passing through…"
Bit by bit, Cassie squeezed between people. At first, this task nearly proved to be too much for a feeble-framed girl like her, making her question whether or not she could really do it.
Yet, maybe out of his desire to get to the gate first, or maybe after noticing Cassie's struggles, Lorren moved a bit more decisively, squeezing past the girl and taking upon himself the brunt of creating the path ahead.
