For several moments, no one spoke.
Well, not exactly.
Inside his head, Kyle could hear Aquilla's cheerful voice endlessly repeating,
{Mama! Mama! Mama!}
She sounded way too happy. It was almost the same as the first time they interacted.
Naturally, with only one woman present in the room, Kyle's gaze drifted toward the girl standing beside his cousin.
And when he looked at her, their eyes met.
For a brief instant, he caught a flicker of panic in her otherwise calm eyes.
That was when Kyle realized how the situation must have looked from her perspective.
Just when they met, Kyle summoned a weapon in his hand, as if he was waiting for them to hunt them down.
"Kyle?" Adam finally broke the silence. "What's the meaning of this?"
Kyle hurriedly recalled Aquilla, causing the golden weapon to vanish from his hand.
"Sorry. I'm still new to all this, so sometimes I lose control over my pow..."
His voice trailed off.
Wait.
Adam's girlfriend...
She could be an ordinary person.
