Ray and Elaina sat facing each other. However, unlike Ray, who gazed straight at Elaina, Elaina couldn't meet Ray's gaze properly.
Ray realized that there was definitely an issue with Elaina at the moment. He thought about what action to take. In the end, Ray decided to find out amidst the conversation Elaina wanted to have at that moment.
"Elaina, why did you call me here? Is there something important?"
Elaina looked surprised by Ray's sudden question. She appeared restless, but in an instant, she closed her eyes and started to smile. She concealed what she was thinking by smiling.
Meanwhile, Ray, who observed her movements, became aware of it.
I hate this... She looks like my past self. I hate that version of myself. Ray felt annoyed seeing Elaina's behavior trying to hide something from him.
