"I became your big fan. Can you please tell me... your name?"
The dark green-haired girl frowned at Cael's carefree tone, her amber eyes narrowing slightly as she studied him.
She already knew who he was.
She had seen him once in District Neva, standing cautiously and guarded as he asked her about resonance.
And she had seen him again in this forest, fighting the bowman with sharp precision.
Back then, at the District Neva, he had been wary of her presence, measuring every movement, every word.
Now, he stood before her as if none of that mattered, as if the blood-soaked forest and the corpses beneath their feet were nothing more than a passing inconvenience.
She found that change interesting.
There were many possibilities.
Perhaps he had gained confidence.
Perhaps he had learned something in these past few days.
Or perhaps he was simply reckless.
She tilted her head slightly and asked,
"Before you ask who I am, should you not introduce yourself first?"
