An Extra’s POV

[Moments Earlier]

"I should start heading out now…"

Alicia closed up the book she was reading and looked around her.

As expected, she was the only one left in the Royal Library. It didn't come as a shock to her, considering that this had been the case for her for as long as they arrived in this world.

She sighed as she rose to her feet, returning the book to its rightful location.

As she did so, her eyes darted to a particular spot—the place where a particular student usually occupied when he came to the library.

'He's the only one who comes here consistently. I didn't see him today, though. I wonder what happened…'

Alicia slowly stifled her worry, shaking her head a little as she made her way out of the library.

As much as she didn't want to admit it, she had noticed his absence today.

… The exact same way she noticed his presence every other day.

'It feels like we're sort of similar. And when we're in the library, we have this unspoken bond between us…'

Alicia quickly caught herself making these silly thoughts and nearly slapped her hand on her face.

'What the heck am I thinking about? That sounds creepy!'

As library buddies, she was just wondering where he was.

However, she wasn't going to be getting her answers.

'I can only guess. Maybe… he got tired of the library…'

Somehow, the very thought of that didn't sit well with her. She wasn't sad or anything, but she wasn't happy about it either.

Honestly, she just didn't know what to feel about it.

'I should take a stroll…' Alicia thought to herself once she got out of the library building.

She took in the fresh night breeze, allowing it to tickle her nostrils as her hair danced with the wind.
