Lukas simply shrugged, not dwelling on it for long. If anything, the girl's reaction amused him. There was even a faint hint of fondness hidden beneath his calm expression.
Cute.
Some would probably think he had lost his mind.
A girl had just openly shown hostility toward you, and you think she's cute? Are you insane?
No.
Lukas wasn't insane....
If anything, his mind had never felt clearer.
A strange sense of calm had settled over him ever since arriving in this world, allowing him to see people with far greater clarity than before. And because of that, he found someone like her... refreshingly straightforward.
She didn't hide behind smiles.
She didn't pretend to be friendly.
She didn't stab people in the back while wearing the mask of an ally.
She hated him, and she made absolutely no effort to conceal it.
Compared to someone like Star, whose true intentions remained buried beneath layers of deception, this kind of hostility was almost... comforting.
