Dumb

Khan reached his flat in no time. He wasn't in a hurry, but he felt restless, and it took him a while to understand the source of that feeling.

Initially, Khan blamed Cora and their kiss for his restlessness. After all, he had jumped into a situation where he didn't have feelings for his partner. He hoped to develop them to make sure that Cora got what she deserved, but part of him desired the opposite outcome.

Still, his hesitation and uncertainty weren't enough to make him feel like that. Khan even went over Headmaster Pitcus' message again to see if the imminent meetings with the families' representatives stirred something. Yet, he didn't experience anything out of the usual. He actually sensed confidence brimming inside him.
