Coffee Date Reminiscing

Little less than six months earlier,

"He didn't wait for you." Rea said as she walked past the Commander. "You can go find him though." She had just gone back into the spaceship after spending time with Cero outside. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind." 

"No thanks. Why would I?" Roka answered, convinced that her deceitful tone couldn't be read.

Indeed, it hadn't been read. Rea didn't care much either way.

As soon as the latter was gone, Roka's demeanor completely changed. She turned towards the spaceship's exit. 

'If I run, can I catch up to him?' She asked herself. 'But… I need an excuse!'

Thanks to Raya and Bak's work, the excuse was found rather quickly.

Unfortunately, someone stood in Roka's way.

"Going somewhere?" Liz asked, carrying a bag full of weapons on her back.

"Uh… Not really. I was going-"

"To help Cero?"

"Yeah, I guess."
