[Event] [Enigma Red Dungeon] [38] Nearing The Truth

[Five hours ago...]

If there was ever an awkward moment, this would be it.

I was sitting peacefully, savoring my meal, when I decided to lower my mask slightly to eat. Little did I know that this simple act would disturb the atmosphere around me.

"Edward...?" Carla's voice came as a whisper, her eyes fixated on my altered appearance. With black hair and red eyes instead of my usual look, she had quickly noticed the change once I removed my mask.

"..." Caught off guard by Carla's discovery, I found myself at a loss for words.

"What's with the mask? And why do your hair and eyes look different?" Carla's expression was a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Well..." I hesitated, not expecting her to follow me.

Shut up!

I didn't anticipate her presence!
