"What's wrong, Nolan?" Seira asked hesitantly.
Nolan didn't answer right away. Instead, he instructed the driver to pull over.
When the car came to a stop on the side of the road, he opened the door and stepped out.
Rei had already disappeared from view.
"Was that just my imagination? But…"
His eyebrows furrowed as he muttered, "I'm sure that was Rei Lionheart."
"Nolan?"
Seira's worried voice came from inside the car.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nolan turned toward her and met her concerned gaze.
He shook his head and got back into the car.
"I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you."
Seira stared at him silently. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Nolan had been acting strangely lately. This was already the third time in the past month.
However, she didn't press him and simply nodded before wrapping her arm around his and resting the side of her face against his shoulder.
…
Half a month later…
