"Jun!" Ace calls out, his voice hoarse.
Jun still doesn't stop.
Finally Ace catches up with him as he steps into the clearing where the car is parked.
"Jun, wait!" Ace grabs his arm.
Jun turns sharply, pulling free from Ace's grip. His face is pale, his jaw tight. "What?"
"What do you mean 'what?! I want to know what's going on," Ace says, frowning. "Why are you acting like this? We just won—those wolves are free, and you're safe. Why aren't you even looking at me?"
Jun exhales sharply, his eyes darting at Ace. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Why not? Did Lila's magic do something to you?" Ace's voice is filled with concern, and he steps closer. "You can tell me. We'll fix it—"
"It's not Lila!" Jun snaps, his voice louder than he intended. He takes a deep breath, running a hand through his hair. "Just… drop it, okay?"
"Jun…"
Before Ace can press further, the sound of footsteps behind them makes both of them turn.
