Nikolai sat with a calm face, looking at the distant sun setting over the horizon—because of Madame Zara, Selene became aggressive and angry before she asked for some time alone and thus, their date in the Djinn world ended early.
"Selene..."
'Though you got angry for me, why did you push me away?'
He watched the birds flying home with a sense of envy—there was nowhere for him to go right now other than Nikita's house since Nagisa promised to help him purchase a new house.
Bzzzt—!
Suddenly, Nikolai's phone started to vibrate... before checking the name, he swiped the call and placed it against his ear, the sound of a lighter being lit echoing from the other side.
The call took a deep drag, his lips pressing together before a long exhalation.
"Haa..... Nikolai."
'Dad?!'
[Ivan... he's smoking?!]
