Ezra narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Gena, his gaze steady and unmoving, as if he was trying to pierce through whatever shallow understanding she had just formed.
"It's clear you still don't understand everything I just explained."
His voice came out flat, without any rise or fall, and because of that, it felt even more direct.
Gena let out a small, awkward laugh, her eyes shifting away from him and up toward the ceiling, as if the plain white surface above her could somehow save her from his stare.
"I got a bit though… Hehe… Hehe…"
Her laugh sounded dry, forced, and a little embarrassed.
Ezra didn't respond to that.
He simply looked at her for a second longer, then turned slightly and stood up from where he had been seated, brushing off the side of his coat in a casual motion.
"Now that your brain has finally noticed the strength you have…"
He spoke while facing away from her, his voice calm.
"You can get stronger from here."
