When my attention snaps back into the mirror, I find myself messing up the tie around my collar——It has been a long time since I last had to make a tie, not to mention with all the pain I am feeling from my injuries…
However, before I am able to unknot the mess I have done around my neck, the door is knocked again, thrice this time. Figuring it can be an emergency, I let the messy knot hang down my neck as I quickly walk to the door. There, as soon as I open the door, the light from the hallway seeps into my chamber. In it, an unfamiliar silhouette prints into my sight. With my eyes squinted, I size it up from head to toe——
From the height a few inches taller than mine, a pair of broad shoulders, and a short hair clean cut, I can be quite certain that it is a boy who is standing in front of my chamber door right now——
