An Extra’s POV

"You."

The moment Alicia heard this, her eyes widened in shock.

'W-what is he saying?!'

Alicia was expecting a lot of things, but not this!

Not yet!

'He was thinking about me? That's why he hasn't been focusing on reading?!'

Even though Alicia didn't say anything, she had been glancing at Rey at intervals to see if he was indeed focused on reading.

Or if, like her, he couldn't concentrate.

At first, he was turning the pages, so she assumed he was paying attention.

She didn't want to disturb him with a conversation, or something that would disrupt his focus.

The sole reason she was here, with him, was so they could enjoy the unspoken camaraderie they shared in books.

If she sullied that with pointless conversations just to selfishly while away time, it would be unfair.

Just because she wasn't into the books today, that didn't mean Rey wouldn't be.

However, her thought processes soon changed when Rey stopped flipping his book pages.

'Hm? What's going on?!' She had thought.

Within herself, she had a faint hope that he too wasn't very invested in what he was reading.

She knew it was a terrible thing to wish for, but she had had no choice in the matters of her emotions.

As time passed, she hoped he wouldn't flip the page and regain his momentum.

She hoped he would talk to her instead.

She hoped…

However, nothing happened.

'Should I just talk to him and start the conversation?' Alicia finally thought to herself.

It wouldn't be a big deal to do so.

But, she didn't want Rey to misunderstand her intentions.
