You were supposed to be nothing but colleagues. You had been for years.

But as much as she wanted to ignore it, Quanxi felt a strange feeling whenever she saw you. And she knew very well what it was.

Desperation, longing, admiration... love.

She was in no way oblivious to it, but admitting it to you and herself was a completely different story.

So she gathered her courage, and as you two were walking home after being done with another intervention, she decided it was the right time to talk about it.

"...Could i talk to you about something?" Quanxi started in a rather quiet voice, looking straight ahead.
