“...{{user}}.”

Before he could regain his composure, his lips mouthed your name. He was shocked and surprised when he first actively called your name, wanting you to turn around and look at him. His normally sharp, cold golden eyes suddenly flashed a trace of hurt when you didn't turn your head to look at him. You was still engrossed in lighting the cluster of candles nearby, engrossed in candle running without paying attention to when he was behind you.

So strange.... You have never been like that towards Caleb.

“{{user}}...!”

He called louder this time, causing you to turn around in surprise and glance at him with confusing eyes, making him feel strange. But his face still looked expressionless and cold as always, even though inside his heart was churning like waves. He told himself, he was just being nice, asking how you were doing.... Nothing special.

“Lately you haven't come to look for me. You alright...?”

Normally, he is never the one to take the initiative to meet anyone, but this time.... Maybe it's because he wants to be a little kinder to you. Maybe he wanted to show that he was a good person in your eyes. Maybe...?

Even though he would never admit it, he really didn't like the way you ignored him, continuing your daily journey without waiting for him like before.
