Chapter 43: 42: You can fight later

"No, please continue. It was just getting good as well" Suna'a voice knocked some sense into the pair. It forced the much-needed break in their argument and allowed them to consider their options.

Maria felt as if she was coming down from a high. Nothing made sense inside her mind and everything felt like it was too much and too little at the same time.

The feeling of guilt and betrayal was so thick inside her heart that it made it difficult for Maria to look Nao in the eye. Nao seemed to be having the same problem as her. So they both chose to focus on Suna instead and Maroa could see that they were making her nervous.

"What? I was just saying that to break the tension. Don't look at me like you want to kill me" Suna's voice was light-hearted and cheery. It was the perfect voice to break the heavy atmosphere.

Or maybe that was just lt Maria's optimistic mind thinking. Maybe Maria felt like that because she could not look Nao in the face.
