An Extra’s POV

"U-uhh…"

Alicia groaned as she slowly opened her eyes.

The expanse around her was dark, and she struggled to see since her vision was still blurry. Accompanied with the surrounding darkness, her sight was a mess.

She felt her entire body ache as her head pounded. Everything around and about her hurt, so it was painful just raising her eyelids

"You're… awake… huh?" A familiar voice sounded right next to her.

She recognized it instantly, though she couldn't properly see the face of who spoke.

"B-Billy…?" As the whisper escaped her lips, she felt like her throat was on fire.

She felt too uncomfortable to do anything without it hurting.

'What happened? Why am I here? Where is this place? Why is Billy—?'

Before Alicia could complete her set of thoughts, chunks of her most recent memories began to flash in her mind.

She remembered how Rey approached her in the library, and how they went to a shady shop.

And then…

'N-no way!' Alicia's eyes popped wide open as she winced in pain.

'I was kidnapped? Set up by Re… no, that definitely wasn't Rey!'

Now that she was in this state, considering everything with the benefit of hindsight, she was a hundred percent sure that the person she met wasn't the guy she knew and liked.

It was someone else. Perhaps even…

"I'm sorry, Alicia. I… I really am…" Billy's voice echoed in the area just as she was about to think of him as the culprit.

'So it was YOU!' Her thoughts nearly echoed out through her lips.

She felt rage rise up from within her, but it was quickly suspended thanks to the pain and discomfort that swelled throughout her body.

"I just… wanted you to love me. To see me the way I see you… I…"

Alicia didn't know how Billy was able to talk so much when she could hardly leak out a few words without such stinging pain.

'It must be due to his Stats and Class.'

Alicia was jealous. If she could speak even nearly as much as he could, she would tell him to shut up.

'He tricked me and actually allowed both of us to be kidnapped! What in the world?!'

As much as she was curious about why and how it happened, Alicia didn't think she wanted to hear it from him.

The forgotten disgust she had was welling up, especially now that she remembered how he treated the waitress in the shop.

'Now that I think of it, everything makes sense now!'

Alicia always knew Rey wouldn't do the things Billy was doing, yet she couldn't disprove his identity.
