After saying everything he had in mind, Alex bade goodbye to Astrea and stood up.
However, just as he was about to walk away, a soft and delicate hand grabbed his wrist.
Alex looked at the young lady, wondering if she still had something to tell him.
"I… I don't know what came over me," Astrea said in confusion. "My body just moved on its own."
"Oh." Alex blinked.
He didn't really know what to say in response to her words, so the atmosphere quickly turned awkward.
Astrea reluctantly pulled her hand back and apologized to Alex. The young man assured she had nothing to apologize for and that what happened could happen to anyone.
He then walked away, intending to visit Fran's farm to look for Dim Dim. Familiar with the little bun's schedule, he believed it might have already finished patrolling the academy with Daisy and Rex and might be having an afternoon snack with them.
