An Extra’s POV

"...."

A moment of silence existed between Master—correction, former Master—and the renegade Familiar.

The tension in the air was palpable, and even though Emil leaped to Rey's head, she was bounced back by a resistance she would not leap through—sending her crashing back to the ground that she now bounced on.

The expressions on the faces of Rey and Emil were like night and day.

While Emil had an optimistic vibe around her—a sincere expression of love and devotion—Rey's face darkened almost instantly. He gave her a cold glare and didn't even move from his position.

"Maste—!"

"What are you doing here?" Was the first thing that proceeded from Rey's lips the moment he couldn't handle the silence anymore.

There were several things he wanted to tell her—many of which were a lot harsher than the question—but his calm mind allowed him to still be reasonable.

"W-why is Master being so mean to me? I just—"

"Stop calling me that! Don't you have a new Master already? Why don't you go and meet Adrien?"

"...." For a moment, Emil had a blank expression on her face.

It seemed like she was confused by Rey's attitude towards her, which further confused Rey. He had already resolved within himself to kill Emil when next he saw her, since she was too dangerous to be allowed to live, but her current behavior was throwing him off.

He felt too conflicted to even properly respond to her strange behavior.

He also couldn't rely on the audience to judge the matter for him, since none of them knew about what happened between him and Emil. They appeared just as lost as he was, so the entire area was just a stadium of silence.

This did not last for long, though.
