When he went to the Lobby, he found Chiaki sitting on the bar alone. She looked melancholic as she sat there drinking alcohol quietly, staring blankly into space as if deep in thought.
Her black hair fell around her shoulders gracefully while her eyes shimmered like emeralds in the soft light of the room.
"What are you doing, Chiaki?"
Leo asked as he approached.
Hearing his voice, the girl perked up and turned around. Her melancholy expression disappeared instantly and was replaced with a stoic face.
"Leader. What's the matter?"
"Nothing. I was just curious about what you did. It's been a week since I last saw you. Well, you can say that I am a bit worried about you."
"A week? Time sure flies quickly." She laughed sheepishly before taking another sip of alcohol and letting out a long sigh, "I am researching something new. The information that I've collected so far is incomplete, but I hope it will be useful later on."
