"Adam! You've finally arrived!" Zera exclaimed happily when she saw him, "Damn, I thought you weren't coming anymore. Honestly, I was worried."
"Agh... Agh... Agh.... I'm sorry, something just happened on the way over. I wasn't counting on it and completely forgot about the time." Adam replied, coming to his senses.
Zera gave him a questioning look.
"Some idiot from Proud Wing crashed into me and made a real show of blaming me for everything! Well, it's a good thing the cops handled it all quickly, and I didn't have to waste any more time." Adam explained.
At the same moment, Zera's look completely changed as if she had seen something repulsive and hateful.
