บท 150: Ch 150: The bad feeling

Rika walked toward the stairs, but something told her she should not head up alone. That made Rika stand before the stairs and not move for a solid minute.

She was looking up the stairs and might have zoned out, too.

Fey stood up worriedly and walked toward Rika before touching her shoulder.

"Hey, are you alright? What are you thinking about? Are you not going to head up?"

Fey's touch finally broke Rika's concentration, and she blinked a few times to bring herself back and gathered her thoughts as well.

She also realised that Fey had called her out a few times before getting worried and walking up to her. 

"Ah, sorry! Did you want something from me? I have yet to hear you speaking since I zoned out just now. What can I do for you?"

Rika's heart thundered in her chest as she felt a sudden surge of panic that terrified her.
