Something terrible had happened!
Carlotta never expected that, while lost in thought, she'd blurted out the words she'd kept buried in her heart, words she shouldn't have said at all.
Amelia's expression clearly showed she'd heard every word, and Carlotta's heart couldn't help but panic.
On Sky Island, she'd fought against others fearlessly, even against Resonators, and hadn't felt the slightest anxiety. Yet now, seeing the change in Amelia's expression, she was utterly flustered.
Why had she said it out loud?
The atmosphere in the room became silent, even stiff.
Was this really the right time to say such a thing?
Carlotta felt it definitely wasn't, yet exactly at this inopportune moment, she'd accidentally let her guard down and spoke her true feelings aloud.
Now what? How could she possibly fix this?
"You... like me?"
Amelia hesitated before asking.
