"Miss, are you alright?"
The young man approached her, his voice calm and gentle, pulling her from her thoughts.
Startled, she looked up, meeting his handsome face. For a moment, she was puzzled.
'Has he not awakened his memories yet?: she wondered.
She had assumed he recognized her, especially after going out of his way to buy her clothes. Yet, to her surprise, he seemed entirely oblivious to who she was.
An amusing idea suddenly sparked in her mind, and the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.
Just as she began to scheme, the young man reached her side.
"Miss, are you okay?" he asked again, crouching down and waving his hand lightly in front of her face. His concerned gaze flicked briefly to the old man nearby.
Then, as if snapping out of a daze, she gasped dramatically.
