A call of his name coming from Llenard's snapped him out of his thoughts. Nico's heart suddenly ached seeing those boys in the flashbacks that he had. When Llenard touched him earlier, it was a kind of déjà vu but it's still unknown to him who are those boys.
"Are you alright?" Llenard asked while he was still holding his hand. He nodded his head but was surprised when Llenard touched his cheeks.
"Then why are you crying?" he gently asked. "Is it about the gown?" he added. Nico cleared his throat and shook his head. He quickly wiped the tears away that he didn't know was already falling from his eyes.
"I don't know." It was the only reply he could think of. It surely wasn't about the gown. He already accepted it. He admitted it saddened him but he was glad that it's given to his sister.
