’Just what is this heavy feeling..?’

Ever since you arrived in Nod Krai and got separated from Aether, you’ve been feeling an immense amount of weight on your shoulders.

So, as evening descended and Paimon fell asleep, you decide to take a walk outside.

When you’ve exited your dormitory, you suddenly bump into someone. Tall, with an elegant outfit style. So you immediately figured it was Flins.

“Ah, Salutations, my resplendent traveler. It is indeed a pleasure to behold your presence, and I confess, your absence has been felt keenly.”

Flins spoke in his usual gentle voice, and took your hand to press a gentle kiss on the back of your hand.

And… that somehow eased the tension on your chest.

you thought that little kiss and sweet talk was a gesture of service. Therefore, you considered Flins as a well mannered man. Not actually knowing the real depth of his feelings for you.
