Sophia Phoenix's breath hitched for a moment, feeling as if her heart and lungs were torn apart by Tilly Flower's words. She stared at Tilly's cold features, suddenly becoming quiet and stopped talking.
After finishing speaking, Tilly's brows furrowed slightly; she bit her lower lip, examining the chilly look on Sophia in the night's darkness, unsure what she was thinking.

Footsteps came from behind her.
It was Sophia following her.
There was an inexplicable emotion at the bottom of her heart; she hadn't really expected Sophia to follow her after speaking that way.
The two of them ascended the elevator in silence, without saying a word throughout the journey.
Maple Swallow leaned against the wall, with her arms crossed over her chest and her head down, resting with her eyes closed, when she caught the sound of approaching footsteps and turned her head to look at them.
