Something was wrong.
Despite walking home with the girl of his dreams, despite the warmth in his chest and the happiness he had longed to experience for so long, an indescribable sense of unease refused to leave him.
Instead of fading, it only grew stronger.
The feeling slowly spread through his mind until it drowned out everything else, leaving him unable to fully enjoy the moment with Katarina.
'Something's wrong...'
"Sai?"
Katarina's gentle voice pulled him back to reality.
She looked at him with clear concern, and Sai quickly forced the brightest smile he could manage.
"Yes?"
She studied him for a brief moment before smiling herself.
That familiar smile eased the tension in his heart.
'Yeah... it's probably nothing.'
He returned her smile, but the uneasiness remained.
If anything, it became even stronger.
"Katarina."
The name escaped his lips before he even realized he had spoken.
"Is it really you?"
"Huh?"
