An Extra’s POV

"W-where is he…?"

Alicia mumbled to herself as she looked around the town square, having the image of one person in mind.

—Rey!

'I thought he would want to hang out together…'

This would be the first time they were going to explore the town together, so she thought he would want to do it with her.

They would check out the marketplace and even have tons of fun in this world… like on a date.

But he was nowhere to be found now.

'I guess I was the only one who was looking forward to this…'

As Alicia tried her best to dismiss her heavy thoughts, she felt a shadow cast over her from behind

Someone was approaching her, and for a moment she suspected it would be Rey.

'Maybe he quickly went to get something and came back for me.'

It was sort of rude, and she would have to give him an earful for it, but Alicia was relieved.

That meant they could finally hang out.

However, the moment she turned back and looked at the person who approached her, she could see it wasn't the boy she was hoping for.

She recognized the face, but that didn't mean she was happy to see it.

'It's him!' Alicia tried to hide her disappointment that it wasn't Rey, but she wasn't a great actress.

"H-hey… Billy. I thought you already went off with your friends."

Alicia hoped he would take the hint that he could just go and hang out with the many friends he already had.

She just didn't feel comfortable under his gaze.

"Well… I… just thought maybe we could hang out together? You know, since it's our first time in town and all."

Alicia wanted to leak out a tear.

Why were the words that she wanted Rey to say being spoken to her by Billy?
