"Haah, what a day," Dart muttered under his breath as he made his way back home.
It was mid-afternoon, and he finally had some time to relax for a while.
If there was any food left from the morning, he'd grab something to eat and then talk to Nadia about tomorrow's contest.
Dart was genuinely excited.
It would be the first time he had ever participated in something like this.
And the bet he had made with Luke only made the whole thing even more exciting.
Reaching his front door, he knocked twice.
"Nadia, I'm back!" he called from outside, something he didn't usually do.
A moment later, he blinked in surprise.
As was normally the case, he expected the door to open almost immediately.
But this time, it didn't.
It couldn't be that she was sleeping, right?
Nadia never slept in the afternoon.
Knock.
"Nadia?"
"Y-Yeah?"
A voice finally came from the other side.
Dart frowned.
"What happened? Why do you sound like that?" he asked, concern immediately creeping into his voice.
