Upon waking the next morning, Thersia felt weighed down by sadness. The kiss from the night before, Luka's lack of emotion, and the hurt caused by his distant call had left her feeling lost. Throughout the night, she kept going over the events in her head, feeling the harsh truth sink in more and more. She wondered how she could have fallen for Luka and why she had let herself believe there could be more to their turbulent relationship.
She opted for subdued colors in her outfit, mirroring her gloomy state of mind. She couldn't bring herself to act cheerful today, so she chose a more low-key look, hoping to go unnoticed. Walking down the stairs, she noticed Luka sitting at the breakfast table, engrossed in his newspaper.
"Good morning," she greeted, her voice not as warm as usual.
