3.1 — Continuation
"I'm… Sunbae."
The girl doesn't seem pleased with my answer. Her grey eyes stay on mine, studying them as if she's trying to find something behind them. Imagine being asked who you are and failing the test.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"So you're telling me you didn't wake up in a body you don't recognize, thinking you'd come from another world?"
Something catches my heart. I look around, half-expecting someone to be standing behind me, feeding her those words. But there's nobody. Just the dark port, the waves striking the bank, and Claire looking at me as if she's asked whether I've had dinner.
How did she know that?
No.
She doesn't.
Nobody knows.
Then this strange conversation must be an inside joke between her and the past Sunbae.
"Do we know each other?" I ask.
"You? No. To you, this is the first time we've had this conversation. As for me… yeah, I know you."
