Abduction 3

Quare met eyes with a stranger standing across the other side of the road upon exiting the bookshop. They locked eyes for a second, but Quare wasn’t able to see his eyes due to the shine in his glasses covering his eyes. A moment later, the stranger’s mouth twisted to a grin as he started crossing the road, approaching Quare while still locking eyes with her. The stranger's actions caused Quare to feel anxious due to her shyness and avert her gaze from the stranger, who finally stopped a meter away from her. The stranger then immediately asked Quare about an unfamiliar person unfamiliar to her.

“Hey, girlie. Do you know a kid named Oblia?” The stranger asked light-heartedly to Quare, who is shaking and averting her gaze from the stranger, making her unable to look into his physical appearance.

“N-no, sir…” Quare replied immediately. She is unaware of Lia’s subject name because Dright immediately introduced her by the name Quare knows.
