Ria didn't seem to know what to do with herself anymore.
I felt like I shouldn't even be looking at her. Staring just felt like intruding. The best thing for me to do, as far as my gut was telling me, was to look away and find a random corner to get strangely fascinated about.
An argument and a half ago, I was dying on the inside just badly wanting to say something, anything - shocking how fast that urge diminished in just a span of a couple of minutes.
But I wasn't the only one who had their intentions radically shifted.
Locks of red at a dim, dull glare, still flickering the walls on either side of her with her fading color, Ria was at a standstill. So dead set on walking away moments before.
Not anymore.
For someone who has been so adamant throughout about not having her mind changed, she does seem to be doing a lot of contemplating at the moment.
And that's the end of this long, long volume, and as well as this arc. It was a very, VERY, slow epilogue to slog through thanks to some very, VERY, slow publishing times. Regardless, I hope that did not sour your enjoyment for the rest of the volume.
I'm hoping that we the advent of a new arc and a new volume, things would finally be looking up for us with more consistent publishing times. Because genuinely, I am looking forward to writing out what I had planned for the next volume... and I do hope you'd wind up enjoying what I have stewing.
As always, thank you for reading, those of you that remained. Love ya'll. Oh, and do share with me what you thought of this volume overall. Flaws and all. I'm eager to know.
