He asked bluntly.
He made no attempt to hide it in front of Zoe Pierce.
Erin Xavier wasn't the only one who had noticed Nathan Lockwood's odd behavior. Who couldn't see it? He would suddenly climb into his mecha in the middle of the night, only to come down about ten minutes later.
It didn't happen often, but if one paid close attention to the timing, they would realize that Nathan Lockwood hid inside his mecha at a fixed time almost every day.
Sometimes it coincided with a battle, other times with a rest period.
The only person this timing lined up with was Zoe Pierce.
Chase Shaw had just noticed it. The way Zoe Pierce looked at Nathan Lockwood now was no longer as helpless or even as indifferent as before.
She was much more reactive.
Although nothing seemed to have changed between them on the surface, Chase Shaw was starting to panic.
He desperately wanted Zoe Pierce to see him, to acknowledge his existence.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
