Bab 254: Tutorial 3

'Do you like me, junior?'

That simple yet profound question had haunted Alice ever since she met Riley.

It was a burden—a weight on her mind that refused to leave.

Riley, an existence she felt was destined for her, was also an anomaly she struggled to accept.

He possessed the very thing her mother had once told her to trust, the thing that would guide her through the storm ahead. And yet, it was the same thing Alice had grown to doubt most in her life.

Feelings.

Trust.

Relationships.

These were foreign concepts to Alice.

Despite the mature, composed front she always presented, deep down, she was still a young, inexperienced girl—lost in a world of emotions she barely understood.

But she knew.
