In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Hello." Shia greeted the others as they walked out of the car, a little unsteady.

"Shia?" Max asked, helping Aliya out. "Now I understand why Ran suddenly told the driver to hurry up."

"Yet, she still beat us to the house." Ran side, stepping out of the car, slightly annoyed. "What are your secrets?"

"Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't have any?" Shia asked, holding her hands out in a surrender motion.

"Of course not. What do you take me for, a fool?" He scoffed. "I am going to find out what they are, Shia. You can't hide them forever."

With that, he walked into the house, greeting Ellie and Sae before peeking back at them again.

"He means no harm," Max said, walking to Shia as Alex helped to bring her wheelchair to the house.

"I know," Shia said with a smile on her face. "I like how honest he is. It's … refreshing."
