"Wow! You look… amazing."
"…Thanks."
Caldor fixed his eyes on Nira. She'd dressed casually, wearing a crop top and cargo pants. Yet, Caldor found it stunning. It was a far cry from the military uniform she always wore.
A moment of silence settled between them.
'Shit, looks like I'm not getting any compliments.'
"Em—"
"…You look good." Nira adjusted her glasses, avoiding his shocked look.
He hadn't been expecting that.
"Ah, thanks. It was just something I threw on, haha."
He scratched his head and awkwardly gestured down the hall.
"Shall we?"
"Okay."
They'd agreed to meet in the kitchen to make finding each other easier.

'Where is she going again?'
Last night's scene played in her mind, and with a cold gaze, she decided to follow.
