Comforting Words from Her

Renz was bewildered by Alexa's last remark. She unintentionally told him that she liked him. The dining area was engulfed by an awkward silence.

Alexa was contemplating what to do, whether she should pretend that she didn't say it or give him a different explanation such as saying she liked him as a friend.

"Alexa…" Renz mumbled her name, his eyes filled with confusion.

Alexa looked at him, giving him a faint smile. At that certain moment, she decided to be true to herself.

"Renz, I can see that you are broken… and I want to fix you."

Renz was tongue-tied. He didn't expect that Alexa would say this to him.

"W-What do you mean, Alexa?" Renz's cheeks were heating up for some unknown reason.

"I mean I want to help you move on. Renz, Selene wants you to be happy as well. She wouldn't like to see you like this. You have to cheer up. Life doesn't end with a broken heart. You have to keep going and strive for your own happiness."
