Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Surfacing Hope

- Gray's 1st Person Perspective.

"Mn. I can." She replied with a nod.

What? What did she just say? I didn't expect it but… It's really possible? The sound of my heart pounding grew louder as the hairs on my neck stood up.

A joke? No, that doesn't seem to be the case…

"Gray?" Lita's voice called out with a worried tone. "Are you okay…?" She asked.

Okay…? Am I making a weird expression right now…? But Why wouldn't I be… She just told me she can find Ria…

Without even realizing it, I suddenly grab on to Lita's shoulders before asking. "Does that mean she's alive?!".

The sheer desperation which could be heard through the cracks in my voice surprised not only me but also Lita.

"Y-Yes…! I think" She replied, startled.

"Where!? Where is she?!" I asked, my face sounding even more desperate as I shook her fragile trembling body.

"Gray!" Kylo called out to me.

Upon hearing his voice, I snapped out of it. Lita's eyes had grown watery as she trembled in fear.
