'Something is wrong…I don't think I have ever seen Shelly look like this.'
The first thing Reina noticed were the bags beneath Shelly's dull eyes. Then she noticed her pale complexion.
The usual spark that Shelly carried was missing as well and instead, there was an air of detachment surrounding her.
Shelly did not say anything as she pushed past Reina, and it made Reina reach out and grab her hand immediately.
"Shelly, wait-! Do you know where Rin is-"
The reaction was instant.
The pink-haired girl regained her spark and immediately turned toward Reina to clutch her shoulder tightly.
'It hurts. Shelly's grip is too tight. It's definitely going to leave a mark.'
Reina flinched at the painful grip and immediately tried to take a step back to break free from Shelly's hold. But Shelly was far too strong and refused to let go.
It made Reina question what was going on.
"What are you trying to do? Let me go. It hurts."
