The mocking voices once again mentioned Tev's name, along with words that fueled my anger, which made me want to punch them, even just from listening.
"Hah."

With my lips tightly closed, I walked briskly toward the sound of the voices. The snickering laughter gradually got closer. And finally…
'Tev...!'
