I barely registered his words as I stared at the arena below. My mind went blank, fixed on everything unfolding beneath me. For some reason, I couldn't focus. Images... faint, surfaced in my mind as I watched what was happening below.
Everything felt so familiar and unfamiliar.
And yet⎯
'I can't remember anything. Why...?'
It felt as though I had the answer at the tip of my tongue, but whenever I was close to recalling, my mind would just go blank.
What the hell was going on?
"Hm? Did you not hear me?"
It was a certain voice that pulled me out of my thoughts, my head slowly turning in his direction as my chest constricted slightly.
"....."
I remained silent, quietly staring at him.
The more I looked, the less I saw.
'I... can't read him at all.'
This was the first time I had ever found myself in a situation like this.
Staring at the figure smiling in my direction, my lips parted slightly, almost absentmindedly, as my eyes continued to linger around his face and body.
