Chapter 41: Chapter 40 - You...

"You..." Kaito murmurs, a little surprised to meet again the girl he saved from the Spectres the night before.

The girl smiles softly as she sees that Kaito recognizes her. Her lips curve into a warm expression as she says:

"Hello, so you remember me. Honestly, that's a relief." Her melodious voice echoes in the air. "Nice to meet you, my name is Lila." She says, ducking her head a little and definitely looking much calmer than when she was targeted by Transcendents.

She then extends her right hand to shake Kaito's, who returns it still a little awkwardly.

In turn, the other boys, who until recently had been shrouded in anger, find themselves captivated by Lila's presence and magnetic beauty. Their gazes turn away from Kaito, immersed in the intensity that this girl radiates as if they were all hypnotized by her presence.

Kaito decides to dispel the awkward silence, so he introduces the boys to Lila, trying to bring some normalcy to this uncomfortable situation.
