"What happened?" Leo asked, once it was just the two of them and Alice shook her head. "Your feelings are spiked."
"Well, I was listening to Miss Stella and then I started asking questions I wouldn't normally ask." Alice explained. "I actually got interested enough to cross boundaries and ask more about what she was saying. And from there, my chest wouldn't stop thumping."
Leo observed her carefully.
"Are you growing compassion?" He asked. "Empathy?"
"What are you talking about?" Alice asked, a bit confused.
"Hm, that doesn't seem to be it. Then, did you just feel what she was saying?" He asked but got a smack on the head. "Ouch. What are you doing?"
"Speak clearly, Leo. I don't understand a word you're saying." She declared, placing her hands on her waist.
Well, it didn't look like she was any different from the previous day. Then, could he just conclude that she resonated with what Miss Stella was talking about?
