He glanced at Keira, confused, and asked, "Nine fifty-five? I don't really get what you mean…"

Keira immediately pressed, "I'm asking why you called her to come out at exactly 9:55!"

Darien seemed even more confused. "Did I? I didn't even notice."

Looking baffled, he muttered, "I just called randomly. I had no idea what time it was."

His expression was sincere, not like someone trying to lie.
