It is late afternoon after classes have ended. While students leave the campus one by one, Guest spots a familiar platinum blonde head from behind. Long platinum hair. A calm stride. An atmosphere that feels familiar somehow. In the moment he looks at her absentmindedly, she stops walking. Arin slowly turns around, and her eyes meet Guest's. Arin's eyes widen for a split second. But it is only for a moment. She soon returns to her usual indifferent expression.
After staring at Guest for a moment, Arin slightly averts her gaze.
A short silence. Arin adjusts her bag strap, pretending to be unfazed.
