Skye Lawrence slid down against the wall, crouching on the ground.
Her face was as pale as paper, biting her lips tightly, her gaze empty and suffocating.

The last look he gave her just now revealed complete disappointment, and after that, when he looked at her, there was only unfamiliarity left in his gaze.
That kind of unfamiliarity, the kind of gaze he would only show to strangers.
It's as if the feelings of growing up together were completely worn out in that instant; to him, she would be just a stranger from now on.

But, did she do anything wrong?
She just wanted to protect the person she wanted to protect, is that wrong?
