The young man looked at the woman, a trace of confusion lingering in his eyes.
"She's just passing through," the woman explained.
The youth remained silent, offering no response. He simply cast another glance at Suzy before remaining quiet.
Their eyes locked briefly for a split second, and those cool, light brown eyes left Suzy in a brief state of daze.
She was dazed enough to mistakenly think the System was speaking!
Faint, scattered sounds buzzed vaguely in her mind—scraps of nonsense like "...target" or something similar.
Wait... is he a romance target too??
The question suddenly popped into Suzy's head.
Did I actually mishear that??
The rain outside was battering the ground far too loudly, drumming relentlessly against the building, leaving Suzy uncertain whether her ears were playing tricks on her or if it was just her imagination.
Did I... really hear that, or was I just hallucinating?
"System?"
