Noah remained standing there without making a sound.
He could see the man's back. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and black pants, the uniform worn by academy workers.
His hair was black. Noah observed the man for a while.
'I should get out of here slowly.'
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, the man spoke.
"Where are you going? You came to find me… and now you're leaving without even greeting me?"
Noah's whole body stiffened. He stood there like a frozen statue.
'Damnit!'
He slowly forced himself to turn around.
He could simply run away, but he decided not to. The man could easily chase him.
Or maybe… if he ran away, he didn't know how long it would take for this man to show himself again. He might hide somewhere else.
'Calm down, Noah.'
He held the door and slowly opened it. The man came into view. He was still looking at the ongoing battle.
Noah stepped onto the terrace.
The man was standing at the edge, leaning against the parapet wall.
