ALPINA

Meanwhile, as Quon stood silently in his own daze, Alpina shifted her gaze back to Scuderia and Quiqui. Her sapphire-blue eyes, large like those of a cat, narrowed sharply with a piercing intensity far removed from the peaceful, lighthearted conversation they had been sharing just moments earlier. Her demeanor evoked the tense resolve she displayed when fighting Angels—perhaps even greater than that. 


This sudden change was enough to bring a sense of realistic tension back into the souls of Scuderia and Quiqui. Part of their reaction stemmed from their deeper understanding of Alpina’s personality, far more profound than Quon’s, but more importantly, it was because they were fully aware of the hidden truths behind their journey—secrets Quon had yet to learn.
