Chapter 51: Reflections in Shadows
The scene shifts to Adam, seated in his high school classroom. He sits back, observing the usual monotony of the lesson.
Just as the bell rings, signaling the beginning of lunch break, Adam notices a few of his classmates glancing his way, whispering quietly to each other.
He ignores them and instead shifts his gaze to the front of the classroom, where Robin, another student, seems particularly fixated on him.
A slight smile plays on Adam’s lips, yet beneath it, his mind stirs with a hint of caution. "I’ll have to do something about this soon," he thinks to himself.
Turning away from Robin, Adam’s attention falls on Sona, who is still peacefully sleeping at her desk, her golden wings folded around her protectively.
He chuckles softly, walking over to her, and places a gentle finger on her shoulder. His touch is light, but his voice carries a soft urgency as he leans closer. "Sona, wake up. It’s already lunchtime. If you’re hungry, come join me," he whispers.
With a sleepy murmur, Sona stirs, unfolding her wings delicately, stretching like a contented cat.
She blinks up at him, her vibrant eyes half-lidded with drowsiness. "Lord Adam, it’s already morning?" she mumbles, rubbing her eyes as she gracefully flutters up, her wings shimmering slightly in the light before she lands on Adam’s shoulder.
She snuggles against him, her gaze still hazy from sleep.
Adam can’t help but smile at her endearing, sleepy state. He takes a quick look around, aware that others might notice Sona’s endearing yet unique presence.
