After finishing my conversation with Solaris, I decided to head back to where the others were waiting. My steps were steady, my thoughts still replaying fragments of what had just been said. But before I could even make it halfway, I stopped dead in my tracks.
Someone was standing there.
It was Su.
No—that wasn't quite right. This wasn't Su. This was Han.
It took me a moment of carefully watching her, observing the subtle tilt of her chin, the sharpness in her gaze, and the way her lips curved ever so slightly in amusement, before I finally confirmed it. I could now tell the difference between the two.
"Hello, Leon," she greeted, her voice smooth and carrying an almost teasing lilt. "Looks like you've been enjoying a nice little talk with someone back there." A small smile tugged at her lips.
"How long have you been listening?" I asked immediately.
