In the kaleidoscope of emotions, Kao's eyes flared crimson at the sight of Nil with Than, a reflection of the agony that mirrored Nil's inability to witness Kao with Lava.
Yet, the intricate dance of changing partners unfolded. After two intricate rounds, Nil found himself entwined with Kao, the latter's grasp on his waist unwavering. In a whispered exchange:
"PKaoo, you're hurting me," Nil uttered, adorned with a pained yet beautiful smile.
"P.Kao? Whose name is that? I recall being Stranger," mused Kao, his words a veil concealing the turmoil within.
"You may have forgotten the definition of 'Stranger,' but not me. Now, I know you intimately," Nil responded, a revelation tinged with heartache.
As the partners shifted once more, Nil, attempting to depart, found himself ensnared by Kao's renewed grip. Onlookers observed the unfolding drama, Sir Mew discreetly wiping away the beads of tension.
