NO MERCY

[Last night…]

NEOMA smiled at Duckie, the Fourth Elemental Guardian, when their eyes accidentally met.

But the duck avoided her gaze.

[Oho?]

It was time to leave the island.

While everyone was busy packing their things, Neoma spent her free time on the shore. She saw Hanna and Lewis playing with the golden butterflies, so she decided to change her "itinerary" until she reached the rock formation by the beach.

And that was when she saw Duckie alone.

"Why are you avoiding my gaze?" Neoma asked, sitting next to the duck even though he didn't invite her to join him. "Is my beauty too blinding? Or are you scared of me?"

<"Uhm, both?">

"Did I scare you when I got upset earlier?"
