(AN: Omniscient POV)
"Get ready! Time's up!" Katline's loud yell sounded from above. And at the abrupt warning, Seol So-Young got a bit more anxious and clenched the sword in her hands.
Katharine, who was staring at Seol So-Young, couldn't help but shake her head at her clumsiness; those were the few moments that had actually been able to cheer her up after her parents' deaths. Even unbeknownst to Katharine, Eshwar's presence had made her mind at ease, and even she didn't know how; she just thought that being in Katline's, her friend's home, was easing the heaviness in her heart.
Katharine then smiled slightly and walked towards So-Young, tapped on her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry too much; I'll protect you, and you'll protect me, and even though she acts like that, she'll help if you are in a situation where you cannot handle it by yourself." Katharine said with a bright assuring smile.
