It was Thalia who woke up first after two days in a coma. She visited Rise and met Kamille. The two remained in silence, without asking about anything.
Thalia could read the room. Kamille obviously did not have the mood to reminisce with her. Even with his seemingly calm composure, the dangerous aura held within could not be mistaken.
Even for Thalia, it was harder for her to breathe beside such Kamille, and so she consciously took her distance.
Only a day later, after Thalia woke up, Rise finally opened his eyes. It was only a four-day coma, but for them... It was more than that.
Just as Kamile wished, he was the first and only person Rise saw as he woke up. Kamille's dangerous crimson pupils were devoid of their usual brutality, and instead an unusual yearning and warmth lingered in his eyes.
Their gazes met in a long while. Their eyes held their emotions, and their mouths were unable to voice out them as a result.
