"..." I'm staring at Ylya, who's staring at my lips. Honestly, I don't have much to do since I was waiting for her to recover.
"Ylya... YLYA!!" I call her once, and she keeps looking at my lips, so I shout her name, finally getting her attention.
"H-Huh?"
"We need to leave. We've been here too long; it must be between 10 and 11 o'clock in this place. We have to move right now. You can't have another panic attack out there."
"Do you understand what I'm saying? We're about to enter that red scenery again. You can't freeze up again. If you do, I'll abandon you. I won't die here just because you lack courage!!" I say angrily.
I feel uncomfortable, strange, and irritated that I kissed her. It was a necessity at the time, but it was something I only wanted to do with someone I like.
"..." She swallows dryly while looking toward the cave corridor in the direction of the exit. She knows we have to go soon; she understands that staying here is a death sentence.
"...I-I..."
