"Hmph... says the one who always hides himself when it's Sunday." Clair puffed her cheeks, still drilling a glare at him.

"A man can change his life at any moment, Clair... and this is my development stage." He grinned, giving her a teasing look.

'Well... I'm happy she's acting that way,' Lyra thought, feeling grateful for both Carl and Clair.

As for Silvia, she only smiled and followed Clair, pulling Carl along into her embrace.

"Ahh, so early..." Carl opened the car door and stretched his body.
