"And that's how we turned out like this," The old man finished his story before snapping back to reality, "ah, I'm sorry, I must've been boring you with my story."
He then stood up and muttered quickly, "instead of me, why not talk about you, you...look..."
The old man suddenly froz as he looked at Ethan's face.
Ethan turned to him with a small smile before asking, "what is it?"
"N-nothing," the old man shook his head before mentally thinking, 'must've been my imagination, after all, no one would make that expression for someone they barely know.'
"About this trio," Ethan calmly started, "do they still visit the restaurant?"
"It's been a while now since they last came," the old man shook his head, "since they finally gained what they wanted and no customer seems to be returning here, I'd say it's their win."
Ethan nodded, placed a hand on his chin for a while before saying, with a smile, "can I order more of this ? It seems I'm hungrier than I thought."
