A bead of sweat fell from my face as an uneasy face formed. I unconsciously took a step back while clenching my fist as our gazes met.
I could feel a multitude of emotions swirling within me.
Fear. Apprehension. Curiosity. Nervousness. Shame.

It was… surprisingly relief?
"I-It's good to see you again…" I stuttered, staring at her fearless smile.
My heart was racing rapidly, and I felt my body grow hot all of a sudden. Was this the effect of her Skill? Was she doing something to me?
No, it didn't feel that way.
It felt natural. Almost as if… I had been longing for this moment.
