Mashauva paused when a familiar voice traveled into her ears.

She thought her ears must be playing tricks on her. Otherwise, why would she hear Bruno's voice at this moment?

The silent surroundings confirmed her thoughts as she stood still, and she gave out a silent, bitter chuckle.

It was indeed an illusion.

With that, she strode forward, back to school.

The sound of footsteps came from behind her, and before she knew it, a slender figure stood in front of her, blocking her path. Surprised, she looked up, and a handsome profile took up her entire field of vision

Bruno?

Was it really him?

Disoriented, Mashauva couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream.

Was she hallucinating? What was Bruno doing there?

After much hesitation, she could only manage a stupid excuse.
