"Rion!" A familiar voice called out.
Rion froze.
He knew the voice very well and he wasn't ready to talk to that person yet.
He slowly turned around, and his gaze landed on Dora, who was dashing towards him.
He forced out a smile, but it cracked instantly after seeing the worried expression on her face.
Something within him twisted, and His feet moved by themselves.
He appeared before her in a moment, gripped her shoulders with a dark expression and asked in a voice heavy with worry, "What's wrong?"
Dora was startled by his sudden appearance and remarked in her head, 'H-How did he move so fast?!'
His grip tightened on her shoulders, she yelped in pain and muttered with tears gathering at the edge of her eyes, "It hurts..."
However, seeing her pained expression and the tears glistening across her eyes like gemstones, a single thought came to his head, 'Cute.'
His lips arched upwards by themselves. He let go of her shoulders, and instead of feeling relieved, she frowned.
