"Elise?" Arthur frowned. "... Now that I think about it. I do recall someone with that name."
"It's me!" Elise smiled widely when she noticed that Arthur was starting to recall who she was. She was a little worried that Arthur might not recognize her since it had been such a long time and so many things changed after so many years.
"But… That Elise was a timid girl with glasses, wasn't she?" Arthur tapped his chin. The image of the girl in his head was that of a very shy, plain girl who was as much of a loner as he was. She wore big glasses and kept to herself the entire time.
That was why perhaps the two got along without ever talking. They just shared the one single hobby they had, reading books. Arthur liked reading fantasy books as a kid. He loved traveling through those magnificent worlds, imagining himself being the adventurer discovering all of that.
