Olisa's expression softened, a quiet understanding in his eyes. "Yeah… I know. They have been best friends for more than a decade. She probably feels what happened to Nnenna yesterday is all her fault."
More than a decade? Chibuzor's brow furrowed slightly. He knew they were close, but he had not realized their friendship had lasted this long. Something about that detail made him pause, a twinge of curiosity, and maybe a little unease, bubbling beneath the surface.
