章節 54: The Valkyrie residence. (Part one)

Sam barely made it in time for lunch. The moment he met with Shizuru and basked in te radiance of her smile he felt his Soul burn like an evil spirit getting exorcised.

The guilt from having cheated on her pained him, however he somehow managed to see it in a positive light. It meant that he cared about her enough to feel that way and that Alice didn't push her out of his heart.

Still, he could already see how devastating it will be once they eventually part ways and that made him scared of telling her even more.

"You dont look any better." Shizuru said. "You didn't get much rest, did you?"

Sam did his best to act normally, but his exhaustion was brought up eventually and he had to provide a reasonable excuse. He couldn't tell his girlfriend that he was having the night of his life with his first love, obviously, so he decided to play it as insomnia keeping him up most of the night and bad posture ruining his sleep.
