There had been something that had been bothering Zoey lately. While she tried her best not to show it, the people around her still ended up picking up on her weird behavior.
"Are you okay...?"
"Is something wrong?"
"You look a little off."
"Why do you keep looking there?"
Zoey tried her best to brush it all off with her daydreaming about the Trials, but it was clear that people were starting to look at her suspiciously.
"...Agh."
Ruffling her hair, Zoey walked towards her usual cafe and grabbed her usual.
"This is so annoying. It should've been better if I hadn't overheard it."
Ever since overhearing Seth's conversation with his team at the hospital, Zoey had been struggling to think straight. Every memory of her interactions with him replayed in her mind, each one making her cringe with secondhand embarrassment over how she had treated him.
'It's not like I knew, right? And he did say that about my parents...'
Zoey bit her lips.
