The surroundings were still.

It was as if time itself had stopped, and as I looked around, I found myself unable to utter a single word.

'How did she...'

Indeed, chocolate was one of the few rare things that could get her face to change.

The tip of her tongue lightly licked her coral lips.

"I was here the entire time."

"...Eh?"

No, you weren't. I thought about it for a while but held my tongue. She probably meant she had been here since the start of the meeting.

"Did nobody notice you?"

"Even if they tried, they wouldn't be able to."

"Right..."
