Bab 163: ....... Friends? Really?

[Mary Kleine POV]

Why was this happening? Why was he... ugh!

My brain couldn't process what Ren was doing.

When Adam told me that he had met Ren and recounted their conversation, I hurriedly left the council room and rushed toward Ren's classroom. And there he was, standing amidst a group of girls.

He looked different yet somehow the same. It was hard to pinpoint what had changed, but at the same time, it felt like everything was different now. The whole situation was confusing.

As I stared at him, I overheard whispers from the girls around him. Why was he surrounded by them? Why were they all girls?

Questions swirled in my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder when Ren had started tying his hair up. It made him seem more approachable, but there was an underlying energy that also repelled people.

Why was he smiling? Wasn't he here to see me? But he didn't even come... why?
