Her gaze returned to the course.
Mel had already passed two obstacles without slowing down.
"…She's already getting used to it."
Lyra exhaled slowly.
"…Unbelievable."
She turned to Arthur. but he didn't notice.
His eyes were fixed on Mel.
Focused and sharp.
There was something different in them now.
A kind of quiet excitement. It wasn't loud or exaggerated.
But it was there.
Lyra studied him for a second.
"…I wonder what you did."
She didn't expect an answer. And she didn't get one.
Arthur just kept watching.
Like nothing else mattered right now.
Like this.. Was enough.
Lyra shook her head slightly.
"…Forget it."
She wasn't going to figure it out by overthinking it.
Some things..
You just watched and observed.
She stepped back.
"I have somewhere to be."
Arthur raised a hand slightly.
"…Alright."
Half there. Half not.
His attention didn't leave the course.
Lyra noticed.
But she didn't say anything.
Because she understood.
