“It's not because of how I act, is it?”
I have a number of guesses that are more specific than that. However, after weighing it in, I still chose to pick that one. Because at the moment, that’s how I felt. Uncertain.
Somehow, my gut feeling was telling me that none of the guesses I pooled in my head was the correct answer. And I decided to trust that.
Shiina's slanted eyebrows curled a little as she responded with a nod. She then gestured with her hand, urging me to put out another guess.
“Hmm… If that’s not it, can it be something very specific?”
Her lips stretched from side to side, grinning as she nodded.
Now that we’ve gotten the chance alone and my attention solely focused on her, I couldn’t help but pick out her uniqueness compared to the other girls.
Yes, she's unusually bold for a woman I was only meeting for the second time.
