"Here!"
Memoria responded, withdrew her gaze, and turned to catch up with Jennie.
In the corridor, the man walking ahead stiffened for a moment, then continued forward, though his steps slowed considerably.
He walked all the way to the stairway corner before turning his face slightly to glance at the opposite corridor with the corner of his eye.
In the corridor, Memoria happened to reach the corner as well.
From there, he could see her profile from afar, with a hint of fatigue on her face.
Watching Memoria disappear into the stairway, the man's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
On the stairs, a girl in a white lab coat turned her face.
The stairway lighting illuminated her face; it was a very young face, appearing just over twenty, with delicate features and a refined beauty. She wore glasses with a thin frame on her straight nose.
Her skin was somewhat pale, with noticeable dark circles under her eyes, obviously someone who stayed up late often.
