An Extra’s POV

Alicia White flipped the pages of the book she was reading, silently consuming the information within it.

As her eyes teetered across each letter—every word—she could see all the information she desired to understand.

Still, for some unknown reason, she could not grasp it.

'Looks like my mind is wandering again…' Alicia thought to herself.

After reading for hours without end, it seemed she had finally arrived at her saturation point for the day.

'It's around 7 PM already. Maybe I should take a break…'

As she sighed and closed the book that she read, a small sigh echoed from her lips.

She glanced around and noticed that no one was present in the library but her.

Times like these felt lonely, but also somewhat comforting.

There were no eyes to glare at her, or no mouths to bash her.

'It's not so bad…'

The moment she had this thought, the doors to the library creaked open, and someone entered.

The moment she heard this, Alicia swiftly carried her book and shoved it in her face, as if she had been reading this entire time.

'He's here!' Her thoughts echoed as she tried her best not to peek behind the pages of her book.

Pretending to be so immersed in reading, she kept her eyes locked on the texts therein.

"Um… hi, Alicia."

The moment she heard the very familiar, but awkward voice, Alicia straightened up and slowly looked up from her book.

As expected, she found Rey standing right next to her.

"O-oh, hi Re—"

"What are you reading?" He suddenly drew nearer as his face closed in on hers.
