Edwin sneezed and held out his hand.

“Stay away from me, stupid cat. You’re triggering my allergies.”

Rin glowered at him.

Before she could say anything, Kazu cut in –

“Would you two please stop?”

Both of them stared at him in surprise.

He sat in front of his desk, scores scattered over the surface, his hair a mess.

He did not look particularly angry but beneath the facade of attempted calmness –

There was an undeniable rare hint of frustration.

Neither Edwin nor Rin said a word after that.
