Matt and Alice returned to the room in silence.
The root of the silence was because Matt seemed a little upset or stressed, it was so evident that Alice didn't say anything to avoid upsetting him.
Still, this worried her somehow.
'I didn't think failing would affect him so much... It seems like failing is associated with something different.' She thought as she saw him enter the room quietly.
She sighed a little after seeing him like that. She also noticed that he was too thoughtful. Maybe he was trying to understand something inside him. Still, she didn't want to leave him alone.
So she stepped forward quickly after closing the door and hugged him from behind, pulling Matt out of his thoughts.
She hugged him tightly, perhaps because she wanted him to understand that she was here.
