Slurpppp— Slurpppp—
"Fwa… thanks for the treat," Alice said, putting down her empty glass on the table.
She stood up from her chair when Leon asked, "You're leaving?"
Alice nodded as she stepped away from the table.
"Mhm. Didn't I tell you? I've already submitted my research for this year, and I still have to prepare for the presentation… Haahh…I'll be pulling an all-nighter at the club today."
"Oh, right. Well, good luck with that." Leon raised his thumb. "I'll be at the club tonight as well."
Alice blinked, briefly confused about why he would be there. Then she remembered.
"Ah, right. You still haven't submitted your research," she said. "You do know it's a bad idea to make Professor Esther wait like that, right? She had pretty high expectations of you."
That was true.
Leon had missed most of her classes and had only interacted with a few members of Luntara. As part of the same research club, he was supposed to attend the group meetings related to his work.
