Did he expect a response? Sort of, yeah but he didn’t show that. Nope. Chalking it down to the fact that everyone seemed to be forgetting all sorts of things these days, he simply turned his attention to the other students in the class and listened to their answers before the Professor continued to talk.

“Well, they look similar to a ferret, don’t they?” . Was no one going to mention that obvious fact? No? “Apparently, they’re capable of human speech? I’ve never seen it but I’ve read about it”. He could have given more answers but being limited to one, he decided to let someone else get a word in.

Looking around, he couldn’t help but notice the little interactions that were now happening between some of his fellow classmates and frown. It was true he’d been paying them a little attention before hand but he’d missed the tension between Nina and Nemesis and then the awkwardness that was oozing from Minjae…why? What was going on? Why did he really care?
