章 132: Her past

LANCE

"I'm fine Lance."

I exhale the breath I've been trapping inside of my chest.

"God, you scared me."

I proceed to her other leg. This can't be good. If she stays silent like this. Not moving, not giving indications beneath the pale as dead features I might go nuts and think she's really dead.

I wrack my head for conversation. Anything. I think back on the very few information we have of her. On her past. Who she really is.

She mentions a grandma but after that...nothing.

"Seven? If you don't mind, can you share me some bits of your past?"

"Hmm... Why?"

"One, to affirm myself that you're still with me. You looking so pale and chilly as snow makes me nervous every damn second. Two, I don't remember you talk about it."

In my head her voice chuckles, before me her body is as stiff as a corpse.

"But I told you about Efta right? You're curious about her."
