Her spiraling thoughts spilled out like opening a wardrobe full of clothes. Or rather, the things that were constantly running through her head flooded out like water bursting from a sluice gate at the sight of Tidwell.

She stared blankly at the man who got up like a child caught doing something bad before running to her.

When meeting someone, she usually looked at their face first, but this time she looked at something else because she had lost her composure.

The waistcoat made his chest appear more toned. It didn't feel strange at all when the crazy thought of wanting to hug him suddenly entered her mind.

Her thoughts regarding the man in front of her were anything but rational.

The way he walked straight was very pretty, and she found it amusing how he kept his noble facade by slightly lowering his head.

It did seem nice to be lying on the same bed as him and cuddling with him.

The sound of the approaching footsteps was neat, and the scent of magnolia was as soothing as a snowy winter morning.

Ravia stood motionless on the doorstep as her mind raced with pleasant thoughts.

But she was so caught up in her thoughts that she wanted to go to Tidwell's room, despite the fact that he was right in front of her.

“Have you returned, Sister? What brought you all the way to my room?”

Ravia wondered why Tidwell would ask that knowing exactly where she was standing. So she finally looked around.

It wasn't until she smelled the scent of magnolia that she truly realized where she was.

Ah.

“…I must've gone the wrong way.”

“But the path only goes in two directions… are you really lost?”

“Yes. I got lost. You can get lost even in a two-pronged way.”

And she was the proof of it.

Unless she was lost, she wouldn't be able to come to him rashly and defenselessly.

But it also meant that her deepest, subconscious feelings emerged when she was in disarray.

They said it was faster to find something with your eyes covered. When you lose your rationality in trying to find your way, your body will gravitate toward familiarity.

Same goes with the heart.

When you're drowning in an endless swamp, you're bound to look for the place where your heart is the happiest.

She would have made an excuse if she had taken the wrong path somewhere else. There was no excuse for getting lost on the way to her own room, so Ravia realized that she had been mindlessly chasing after Tidwell's shadow.

And she had been thinking about Tidwell until now.

The explanation was lengthy, but it could all be summed up in one word.
