Senju slowly stepped back.
Only after she let go did the awkwardness reach her face. The moment had happened suddenly, and now she did not know where to look.
Adam was still only around twenty years old. And she had suddenly hugged him in his hostel room.
Senju cleared her throat and returned to the chair near the table.
"Sorry," she said in a low voice.
Adam was also stunned for a few seconds.
That sudden hug had caught him off guard in a way he had not prepared for.
For a moment, he only looked at her.
Then he forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath and sat a little straighter on the bed.
"Senju," Adam said, "actually, I need your help."
Senju looked at him at once.
The awkwardness on her face reduced a little. The moment she heard that he needed help, her expression became focused again.
"Help?" she asked.
Adam nodded.
Senju leaned forward slightly. "Of course, tell me what you need."
Adam did not answer at once.
