Evident Changes [Pt 1]

Awkward silence permeated the meeting hall, a deafening response in itself to the tense question posed by Serah.

Where was Neron?

Edward found himself being the center of attention following Serah's question, and he utterly regretted it.

He glanced in Ciara's direction, and he wasn't surprised to find her still locked in Jerry's embrace, with the both of them acting all lovey-dovey as if they hadn't seen each other in a thousand years.

As for his other friends, Jared and Kuzon, they had flown off with their lovers.

'When is Aloe going to show up?!' Edward screamed within himself as he returned to reality and was met with the intense gaze of Serah.

He had to say something… and fast!

"W-well, the thing is… I…" Edward grew more uncomfortable as he uttered more words, and beads of sweat began to form on his face.
