all he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and continued walking, disappearing without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron scratched the back of his head, watching him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He really does whatever he wants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julia stepped beside him, her gaze lingering on the direction Arthur had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do

Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Julia said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna was still standing there, arms crossed, a smile lingering on her lips—one that hadn’t faded since Arthur walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julia hesitated, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all...
