Marionette unconsciously lowered her phone at Millis's words. Communication was indeed the best solution to what was going on. But...
"I had intended to talk with her this morning."
Millis raised an eyebrow. "And...?"
Marionette raised her free hand and slowly lowered it onto her chest. "... I had an odd sensation in my chest that prevented me from going through with it. It felt... unpleasant."
Millis hunched over slightly with a deadpan expression. Was this woman serious?
"Dude... you never felt anxious before?"
"Since I always knew what to do... I never truly get anxious."
"You knew you needed to talk with her and yet you didn't?" She then facepalmed. "Anyway... you're going to need to do it soon. Or the next time you see her."
"Next time... I see her...?" Marionette tilted her head at her before glancing back to the front of the class and found Lillian and Reph had disappeared alongside everyone else.
