"Where is she?" Aether muttered to himself, frowning in confusion. He was sure he had followed her closely, but upon reaching the empty corridor, she seemed to have vanished around the corner.
'What the...?' His brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the hallway. That's when he noticed a restroom door at the end.
'Maybe she went in there,' he thought, deciding to wait outside. After all, she might need some time alone.
He was about to turn and leave when—
"Caught you~"
Aether felt hands gently cover his eyes from behind.
A chuckle escaped his lips. "Oh, you caught me, huh?" He recognized that playful tone immediately.
"Oh? Then tell me... who am I?" came the voice, teasing and light.
