Fear crept into her eyes as soon as Jude greeted her. She had lived among unfriendly people and heard all sorts of gossip about him. So it was inevitable that she had a certain image of him. Even if Dario explained, she did not want to believe it. Well, it could not be helped. Jude had not exactly lived a clean life either.
Dario came out into the hallway, stood in front of her, and greeted Jude.
"Uh, Jude, what's going on?"
"The battle royale event will start soon... Here, take this."
When Jude handed him a piece of paper, Dario grabbed his hand.
"Sorry. You always look after me like this... I should have been there too..."
The last sentence was almost a whisper. He probably thought Jude would not hear it.
Jude grabbed Dario's forearm and answered, "Contact me anytime. I'll never betray you."
"Uh, yeah... Sorry, and thank you again. Anyway, see you later."
"Yep. Take care."
