Gwen blinked repeatedly in surprise.
The mysterious person standing before her, whose face had been hidden beneath a scarf and hood only moments ago, had suddenly called out her name.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She instinctively took several small steps backward.
"...Sorry..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Do I know you?"
Even after being saved...
She couldn't bring herself to lower her guard completely.
The image of those thugs still lingered in her mind, and the frightening speed with which this mysterious woman had killed them only made her feel even more uneasy.
Lucy immediately noticed the fear in Gwen's eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation...
"It's me..."
Her voice softened.
"Lucy."
She reached up with both hands, gently pulling down the scarf that covered the lower half of her face before lowering the hood resting over her head.
Long familiar hair slipped free.
Her entire face was finally revealed.
