Chapter 146

"R-Rayton," Sez appeared flustered and stammered.
"I heard you were resting, so I was hoping we could go to your room together..."
Rayton flinched and met Sez with quivering eyes.
“...Sez.”
It reminded her of the day he suddenly passed out, with his vacant gaze and labored breath, making Sez even more nervous. Not knowing what to do, Sez simply held Rayton close, as if she believed everything would be alright as long as he remained in her embrace. Rayton's eyes continued to tremble.
'It's strange. I thought I had a dream.'
However, he couldn't recall anything about the dream. Rayton sat in silence for a while then slowly embraced Sez as if he had finally woken up.
'It's fine. Everything will be fine. Nothing will ever happen.'
He kept muttering those words to himself internally.
"Rayton, you've looked so tired lately."
"...Have I?"
"You haven't been sleeping well and even skipping meals."
