Chương 61: A little closure [2]

It was a quiet journey back to the Academy. 

I allowed myself to sink into my thoughts, gazing blankly at the shifting scenery outside the window of the moving train.

Before I knew it, the sun had started to set and I was finally back at the Academy. 

I took in my surroundings before finally heading for the dorms. 

The walk wasn't very long. About a five-minute walk. The surroundings were quiet, and I basked in the silence that surrounded me. 

It felt oddly peaceful. 

That was until... 

"....." 

I passed a certain figure and I found my steps pausing. 

I turned around and our eyes met. Long platinum hair, red eyes, and a face that one wouldn't forget even if they tried. 

"What?" 

Kiera Mylne. 

She looked at me with her usual scowl. 

"Tsk." 

Then, with a click of her tongue, she tapped the cigarette in her hand against the ground.

Tzzzz—

"Happy now?"
