136 Old Friend

Nicole was at a loss for words, unable to respond to Tori's sudden question. Kairos was a little annoyed that Tori had a sudden burst of intelligence allowing her to find the small nuances in what Nicole had said.

Kairos decided to speak up.

"Yes, there was another person that was also with us."

Nicole looked at him with a worried expression.

"U-Um, but it's not really important."

Tori tilted her head to the side.

"So it wouldn't be a big deal to talk about it, right?"

Nicole averted her gaze.

"U-Um."

Kairos shrugged his shoulders.

"It isn't that big of a deal. I was more familiar with our friend, so I can describe it better."

Nicole looked down.

"But..."

Chase spoke up.

"Is there a reason why you can't share it so readily?"

Nicole interlocked her fingers and remained silent. As for Kairos, he simply sighed.

"It's just we probably aren't considered friends anymore with that guy."

Chase slowly nodded.

"I see. There's no need to talk about him then."
