章 149: First Act 20: Into the Climax 2

Yawn...! 

A tired sigh escaped my lips as I strolled through the lively commercial district. 

Despite being someone who could usually go without sleep for days, the mental strain from last night had hit me hard. 

Aria bombarded me with questions, Louise shot me those knowing looks, and even though Analise stayed quiet in the corner, I could tell she was just as curious.

Trying to juggle their inquiries, I gave them the best explanations I could muster. Aria wasn't entirely convinced, but she eventually let it slide. 

It wasn't the kind of situation where I could spill all the beans, especially with the three of them there. 

Aria and maybe Analise could grasp the complexity, but with Louise, things were a bit tricky since we weren't officially dating yet.

The conversation dragged on until the late hours of the night, and by that point, I was really looking forward to crashing out.
