Leagues Ahead [Edited]

Kyle lingered for a moment at the back of the shop, his thoughts swirling after identifying Lora.

He remembered how he had been such a jerk to her after he had lost. He meant to call her and apologize, but ever since Orion's interruption it completely slipped his mind.

Now, here she was. She was right in front of him but he couldn't help but hesitate.

'I never did get the chance to apologize for being rude,' Kyle thought to himself, glancing over at Lora again.

'And nothing's stopping me from doing it now.'

[Stop acting like you're gearing up to talk to your crush]

Void suddenly chimed in as usual, cutting through Kyle's thoughts with an amused tone.

'What?! Crush? The hell... What made you even think in such manner.'

[Sure, sure. You don't need to panic.]

Kyle could already feel the banter with Void building, but this wasn't the time for that.

'I should go talk to her,' he decided, steeling himself.
