"Are you alright?" Alex asked as he danced with the elven princess. "Your hand is cold to the touch."
"And your hand is warm," Lapiz replied. "I like it."
Alex didn't know why he found Lapiz so endearing right now. The way she smiled and looked at him seemed very different from how she normally interacted with him.
"Alex, did you have any regrets in your life?" Lapiz asked as she followed her partner's lead. "If you find this question sudden or inappropriate, feel free to ignore my question."
"I do have regrets in life," Alex answered. "I regretted not telling someone how I feel about her. That regret truly weighed on me at one point in my life.
"I always asked myself, 'What would have happened if I just told her how I felt at the time?'
"Unfortunately, I can't turn back time. The feelings and the words that I didn't say to her that day is something that I will forever carry in my heart."
"Who is that person?" Lapiz inquired.
"My Guild Master," Alex answered.
