Aliana stood at the door for a moment, looking at me with a calm smile. She wasn't worried, nor did she seem to feel the pressure of the environment like I did.
Perhaps noticing my nervousness, she smiled slightly and said in a soft but confident voice:
— You'll get used to it. Nothing is really that complicated. Everything here always seems bigger than it is. People tend to get hung up on appearances, lose focus, and forget that things are much simpler than they seem.
I just nodded at her words, acknowledging her sincerity, although I didn't feel entirely calm.
— Thank you, Aliana, I'll keep that in mind. I looked at her briefly before saying goodbye.
— Oh, right… — Remember to look for me before you leave. She told me as she walked away, her footsteps echoing in the hallways.
