As soon as they stepped out of the infirmary, Leilani’s legs began to tremble again. She cast a wary glance at the nearly deserted path and said in a shaky voice, “Briar, I can go back to my dorm by myself. You don’t have to walk

me back…”

Briar, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around, fixing Leilani with a cold, emotionless gaze

that felt as if she were being cut to pieces. “I never intended to walk you back.”

Leilani asked in fear, “So… Can I leave now?”

“Go ahead,” Briar replied, still standing there without moving an inch.

Leilani felt a flicker of relief, hoping that Briar would truly let her off the hook this time. “Thank you! I appreciate it. Don’t worry, I won’t mention anything about what happened today…”

“Nothing happened today, got it?” Briar said with a slight click of her tongue.

Leilani was startled and quickly corrected herself. “Yes, yes, nothing happened today.” Without daring to look at Briar again, she limped away.
