Clash of the titans (4)

Lina's angry thoughts swam in her head as she walked away from her best friend. 

There were far too many variables in this equation she couldn't make sense of. 

She had just regained her memories of Mana, and felt nothing but affection towards her. But suddenly, after the appearance of Loren, Mana began to behave with hostility. 

'She even sounded jealous...that's so unlike her...' Lina thought to herself. 

From the memories she recovered, she never found one in which Mana was mixed up in any funny business. Mana knew only about her identity as Lina Mito, college friend and boss of the Consultancy. 

Mana had shown surprise at her adept martial arts skills as well, and did not know that she could also perform emergency surgery. 

There was no way she knew about any other identity. There was no way Mana could have known anything about her attackers.
