Inside a Bubble

As we started chatting, she finally introduced herself as Zendy. 

The Zol clan seemed to have a thing for starting names with Z; it was their trademark. 

And who could blame them? Names starting with Z had a cool ring to them. It was like when people heard "Zeus," they instantly thought of a powerful god of lightning. 

Similarly, when they heard "Zephyr," it sounded awesome and mysterious .

Hell, even I decided to stick with my name Zyden. That's just how attached I was to that name. 

Contrary to my initial impression, Zendy proved to be far more talkative than I had anticipated. 

As our conversation unfolded, she began to open up, sharing information with a steady flow that kept me engaged. 

On the other hand, Shao Mi kept to herself, remaining quiet and reserved. 

Even though, Zendy exuded a somewhat welcoming and friendly personality, it was evident that Shao Mi did not warm up to her at all.
