Orze's Records #8: A Child in the Abyss

On my first day at Atoraxxion, as Yolu was taking me on a tour of the place, we encountered Syca. The boy, a bit shorter than me, gazed at us with an expressionless face. His eyes were like a deep well, revealing no emotion, yet I could sense something hidden within them. "Syca, I'm showing the place to our new friend!" Yolu led me to him with a bright voice. Syca nodded, but his gaze seemed hesitant to meet mine. He was silent for a brief moment before he quietly spoke to me. "Hello. I see you're making yourself at home here." I nodded lightly. His attention shifted back to Yolu, and for a moment, his expression subtly softened. However, Yolu didn't seem to notice the change and continued to boastfully speak to me while holding Syca's arm. "Syca is friendly! He always helps me out. Even when I mess up, he never gets angry." Her words trailed off casually, but I noticed Syca's lips slightly moving, as if he understood the hidden meaning behind her words.
