An Extra’s POV

Trisha walked to the meet spot with the same serious expression on her face.

It was, as she expected, at the very Inn that she and her classmates lodged in when they first came to the Adventurers City. Staring at the luxurious building, and then returning her gaze to the piece of paper in her hand, she confirmed the address despite having no need to.

Upon walking into the building, all eyes fell on her, but she ignored all of them and went to the flight of stairs that stood opposite her.

In no time at all, she was at the very top.

Her lips were tightly knit together. Her thoughts were silent. With every step she took, the only sound she heard were the crunching ones her boots made.

Until, finally… Trisha arrived at the entrance.

"I'm coming in." She said with a normal voice before twisting the knob open and entering inside the large room.

Silence greeted her as she stepped in, looking at the ten beds that were lined up in a straight row. Suddenly, the place seemed much larger than it actually was.

Maybe it was because, unlike before, she wasn't here with her friends. Three out of the ten in this room were now dead, and the remaining were somehow fractured.

One was in an eternal sleep. One went on an unknown journey. Trisha was in a different city, with the rest being in the Capital.

She stood there for a moment, taking all of it in.

Then—

~SWOOSH!~

Instantly summoning her blade and twisting her body so she could slash whatever presence she felt behind her, Trisha moved with grace.

The sharp sword nearly scraped the cheek of the stationary boy before she stopped, still having a cautious look on her face as she looked at him.

"What do you want… " With narrowed eyes, her words seemed dipped in bitterness. "... Rey?"

The boy who she now faced was taller than she was, with dark hair that swayed ever so gently. He had an eyepatch covering his left eye, and even with his sweatshirt and joggers giving him a casual appearance, he still had a certain presence around him.

It was a presence Trisha couldn't ignore.

"It's been a while. You don't look surprised at all…" Rey said with a small grin. "Guess my name gave it off, huh?"
