Adam exhaled and lowered his hand.
His frown deepened, lines carving into his face.
He didn't miss it...
The feeling of that gaze still lingering somewhere distant.
Those prying eyes definitely belonged to that dark-blue-haired guy!
Adam glanced toward Cael, who stood unsteadily, like someone waking from a long, disorienting dream.
"How long has that guy been watching us?"
Adam asked, voice low but firm.
Cael blinked again, startled by the sudden question... as if his mind was still lagging behind reality.
"Ah...?"
He shook his head slightly, trying to clear the fog, before pushing himself fully upright.
"Not for long... Ever since we got out of the third floor, he's been watching us."
Cael muttered, voice rough, like he hadn't spoken properly in hours.
Adam's frown tightened even further.
His mind raced.
'Does that mean he saw me use my abilities…?'
The thought dug into Adam like a thorn he couldn't pull out.
