She was sure-she had heard his voice before. Somewhere. Sometime.
Jean closed her eyes instinctively; her mind was working at full speed. But-nothing.
She thought and thought, but it just wouldn't cto her. It was like something in her brain was jammed; the memory wouldn't connect. Did I just imagine it? She stared after the boy's retreating figure, her brows knitting together without thinking.
Just then, she heard the sound of lazy footsteps approaching.
Someone was slowly walking down the staircase from the academic building.
Jean squinted toward the sound- And sure enough, the guy coming down the steps was none other than her brother, Winston.
The white-haired teen had his hands in his pockets, strolling casually with that usual indifferent look on his face. "Hey, Winston!" Jean immediately raised her hand and waved at him with excitement.
Winston turned his head at the sound of her voice and instantly spotted his sister.
He stared at her wide, cheerful smile and felt an unexpected wave of irritation. How the heck is she still smiling...

"Winston. Long tno see."

Jean clutched her head with both hands, trying to sort out the chaos in her brain. So who even is this guy in the Wheelchair? Have I met him before or not...? But Winston's attention was entirely locked on the boy in front of him.
Who knows how long passed before he parted his lips and spoke-his voice low and deliberate, "Dalton." Dalton was still smiling, the curve of his lips quiet and cool. "You still remember my name." Winston's expression was cold as frost; there wasn't a trace of warmth on his face.
"How could I not?" he said, his tone sharp and unfriendly.
At those words, Dalton dropped his eyes, a little awkwardly, and didn't say anything more.
Jean's eyes bounced back and forth between Winston and Dalton; the crease in her brow deepened with every second. Okay seriously, can someone explain what's going on between these two? How do they even know each other? What kind of history do they have? Why does this feel like stic long-lost reunion straight out of a movie?
