After a few minutes of walking, the couple arrived back at their home.
There, standing in front of the door to their apartment, was their neighbor, Marine.
"Marine?" Nellas spoke and the young woman looked up.
"Oh, Nell, you are back. And..."
Her words trailed off as her gaze landed on the person who was standing next to her neighbor, and her face turned a bit darker.
"Hello Ember," Marine called the girl, but Ember didn't even raise her head and just nodded slightly, not wanting to interact with her.
'This girl... Is she really?!'
Marine self-talked in her mind and her gaze stayed on the girl before Nellas noticed the tension between them and spoke.
"So Marine, what brings you here?" He asked and tried to remove the weird atmosphere, "Did something happen?"
Upon hearing him, Marine snapped out of her thoughts, and she looked back at her neighbor.
