[119] Kiriya dan Wendy (2)

Kiriya let out a long sigh, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Haah... So it was all for nothing that I came here," he muttered softly, staring at the glass before him, now holding nothing but the remnants of water. He had known this trip would be exhausting, yet his heart felt a strange mix of relief and disappointment—because in the end, all he did was meet, listen... and leave.

Wendy's eyes followed Kiriya as she gathered her words. "Really now, what made you chase after him like that?" she asked gently, her voice warm but full of curiosity. She understood well—chasing an old friend to the ends of the world was no small matter.
