After waking up from his long, peaceful nap, the first thing Zenith intended to do was rush outside to look for Kylian, since he was unable to detect his pheromones anywhere near the building.
But the moment he walked out of the classroom, approaching footsteps and a deep familiar voice called him from behind, "Zenith?"
He paused, quickly turning his head behind to see it was his homeroom teacher Mr. Matt who had approached him there. Mr. Matt had a somber expression on his face when he urged him, "Good thing you're awake now. You need to come with me somewhere—"
"I can't." Zenith adamantly declined, narrowing his dark eyes at him while sounding uneasy, "I need to go and look for someone now, it's necessary."
"But it shouldn't be more necessary than showing your teacher a bit of respect, at least."
