Ethan stood frozen in place, shock washing over him.
The name Luna had just spoken struck him like lightning, sending a sharp chill down his spine.
For a moment, he couldn't control his facial expressions with the usual mastery he prided himself on.
His mask slipped for several seconds—something he had never expected to happen.
Luna saw all of it clearly, yet she said nothing.
It was fair to say that his reaction stirred something within her.
Curiosity… and confusion at the disturbance she had just witnessed.
But Ethan quickly regained control, restoring his mask.
He walked slowly to his bed and sat down calmly, staring at her with complete seriousness.
"Just to clarify… that name. Did you hear it from me?" he asked.
Luna shook her head.
"No. I heard it from rumors about you."
What she said only deepened Ethan's frown as he realized rumors about him were already circulating.
"What kind of rumors?" he sighed heavily as he asked.
