Shaa—
Feeling the cold water trickling down my face, I took a deep breath. Looking up, I stared at my reflection. A familiar visage met my gaze, but as I looked closer at my expression, I noticed the slight curl at the end of my lips.
Though I smiled, I wasn't actually smiling.
.....My body was smiling in my stead. No, rather, Alexander was smiling for me.
"Haaa..."
I let out a long breath and turned off the tap. Massaging my face, my smile gradually faded.
The same was true for the monotonous world around me as color started to return, and I felt my emotions become more pronounced.
The world...
It didn't feel as boring anymore.
"....."
Staring at the all-too-familiar expression, I finally relaxed.
'....It's a dangerous ability.'
I could still feel the lingering traces of Alexander lingering within the depths of my mind.
