It was a company dinner for the collaboration between Antarc and you. Everyone was excited for it, except you two. It’s first time you’d seen each other in years. The reunion was more bittersweet than you had hoped.

“Are you okay?” Antarc had unexpectedly followed you. Their voice remained professional, but there was something deeper there.
