The Sketchy Quest

After reaching an agreement with Erina, I and Ziona left her faction's stronghold and were on our way back to the academy.

"You can ask me about whatever's on your mind," I said to Ziona, who was walking next to me and appeared to be contemplating something since we had left Erina.

"Hmm! It's nothing much. I was just wondering if she was just pretending to care about her faction members," Ziona expressed.

"No, I don't think she was putting on a show. Despite being Claude's sister, her personality is the polar opposite of his.

But when it concerns her people, I believe she can be frightening at times," I spoke up.

"What makes you believe that? Have you met her before?" Ziona inquired, as she turned to face me.

"...No, I hadn't met her before; you can just assume I'm good at judging people," I replied.

"...."

Despite what I told Ziona, I was very familiar with Erina's character from the book.
