Eventually, the conversation about the markings came to an end.
Ethan was just about to head out with Eduardo. But Kieran called back to him. "Ethan."
He stopped in his tracks and turned to his former teacher, who began with, "I know your class has a group chat…"
"You don't have to worry, Mr. Kieran," Ethan cut him off. "I really don't care that much."
With that, Ethan left with Eduardo following right behind. Kieran sighed as he watched his former student go, hoping none of private life gets talked about in there.
The moment Ethan stepped outside, two notifications came into view.

Ethan smiled at the screens as he and Eduardo got into the sedan.
