Nora suddenly spoke while stirring her drink.
"Hm?"
"You're surprisingly calm."
I looked up.
"About what?"
"About Leona."
I blinked.
"What about Leon?"
Nora stared at me for several seconds.
The kind of stare that made me feel like I'd already given the wrong answer.
"You just heard that someone who was originally just your friend might have developed feelings for you."
"Oh."
"And that's your reaction?"
I shrugged.
"I mean, nothing's confirmed, right?"
Nora's eyebrow twitched.
"It could just be friendship."
"Friendship."
"Yeah."
"That's your conclusion?"
"What else am I supposed to conclude?"
Nora slowly put down her cup.
The movement alone somehow felt threatening.
"Rin."
"Yes?"
"Sometimes I wonder whether you're actually smart."
I frowned.
"That sounds rude."
"It was."
"..."
"Very intentional, too."
Why was she attacking me all of a sudden?
I hadn't even done anything.
Probably.
