Capítulo 7: Whisper Of Enigma

As Lilly stepped inside her home, Maria's expectant eyes met hers. With a casual air that masked her curiosity, Maria asked the question that had lingered, "Where have you been?" Pausing briefly, Lilly wove a narrative of an impromptu early morning jog, an explanation veiled in half-truths. The words hung in the air, laden with unspoken queries. Maria's raised eyebrows betrayed her doubt – a signal that she recognized the divergence from Lilly's usual routine. Echoes of Noah's reassurance reverberated softly, guiding Maria toward patience and understanding. Exhaling a silent sigh, Maria chose to heed that advice, granting Lilly the space she seemed to need.

Beneath the surface, a conflict raged within Maria, an internal duel between trust and concern. She clung to her belief in Lilly's honesty, yet an unsettling feeling crept in. The undisclosed fragments of Lilly's experience cast a shadow over their bond, and though Maria outwardly respected Lilly's boundaries, an ache of curiosity persisted. In quiet moments, Maria found herself contemplating the depths of her friend's hidden world, waiting for the day when Lilly might unveil the enigma that had come between them.

Meanwhile, Lilly's heartbeat quickened, her palms dampening as she avoided meeting Maria's probing gaze. She understood that a single look could crumble the walls she had erected. Clenching her teeth, she grappled with the tension of withholding the truth, torn between sparing Maria's worry and facing the guilt of her silence. The weight of her secrets pressed heavily as if the air had thickened around her, amplifying her internal turmoil.

Upon returning to her room, Lilly's attention was drawn to the aged, brownish box. As she gazed at it, a spectral voice reverberated through the air. This time, the haunting question had changed: "What did I do to you?" The words carried an unfamiliar weight, leaving her off-kilter and struggling to maintain her composure. The once gentle breeze now felt like a force threatening to knock her down, as if the very atmosphere held a message she couldn't quite decipher.

In a realm within her mind, a garden materialized, and Lilly stood there, a sense of anticipation consuming her. She attempted to call out, to utter some crucial word, but the wind swallowed her voice, leaving her inaudible. Abruptly, the scene shifted, revealing a man from another era, stained with blood, clutching a letter that seemed to pulsate with ominous energy. However, the details swiftly blurred, melting into a haze-like watercolour under a rain shower. The voice persisted, resounding in her mind once more, "What did I do to you?"

Later, when Maria entered the room, Lilly's body was drenched in perspiration, her cheeks stained with tears. Maria's gentle touch and the cool water helped break the hold of whatever had ensnared Lilly's senses. In Maria's comforting embrace, Lilly found a haven from the enigmatic forces that seemed to conspire against her.

Upon reaching the college campus, their eyes fell upon an empty seat next to Noah. Taking it as an invitation, they settled in. Lilly's response to Noah's smile was a mix of uncertainty and a tentative grin. Throughout the class, her mind drifted, replaying the unsettling dream that had gripped her during her fainting episode. Even recollecting it sent a shiver down her spine. Observing her subtle tremor, Noah playfully brushed her arm and humorously inquired about her daydreams. Yet, as their gazes locked, Lilly couldn't shake the feeling that Noah detected a deeper layer beneath her facade. Despite this unspoken recognition, he chose to proceed as if nothing had transpired, leaving Lilly to wrestle with the mysteries that circled her.
