[Nyrel Loyster] Flashback [6]

"Come on, Nyr! Get up!" Ephera's voice rang out as she tugged at Nyrel's hand, urging him to rise from his seat.

As soon as the class ended, Ephera made a beeline for Nyrel's desk, determined to get his attention.

"Why?" Nyrel asked, neatly stowing away his belongings while trying to maintain a facade of normalcy, aware of Jayce's piercing glare from behind.

"I need to buy something, and I don't want to go alone!" Ephera explained.

"But your brother—" Nyrel began, only to be cut off abruptly.

"Oops, I have to go!" Emric said, swiftly making his exit.

Nyrel was left speechless by the sudden turn of events. It seemed Emric was under the impression that Ephera harbored romantic feelings for him so he decided to help his sister by not coming between them.
