A Celebration

The Central Hall was where all members of Ascent gathered. Some new additions have made the mood tense because the whitish-looking girl did not look easy to befriend. Most of the time, she wore a frown and stared at Yuran.

"Is there something on my face?" asked Yuran as he scratched his face while staring at her. "As your older brother, I would say that it is rude to stare at people like this."

"Older brother!" scoffed Rae with a mocking smile. "You have escaped Shon like a rat, which makes you no brother of mine."

"And haven't we now ended up in the same place?" asked Yuran, making Rae open her mouth several times to answer but could not. She has escaped too, and the exchange made the place more awkward.

"Is Arthur going to be late?" asked Jonah while sipping his juice box through a straw. It was lemon-flavored milk, an item that made others feel repulsed.
