When I Was A Wallflower

When Leo heard his words, he put down the glass and tilted his head to look at Toby. “How should I act then?”

Toby was quite surprised by his response. Leo is always a quiet and reserved person. It’s hard trying to get him to talk. Yet, he responded to me on my first attempt.

As he thought about it, he pursed his lips and walked over to Leo, sitting in front of him. Then, he took the glass and poured himself some liquor. “You are the calm and composed one among us. No matter what happens, you wouldn’t show any emotions on your face, which is something my father had always admired about you. He said you are a rare gem, and I must learn from you. However, I can’t do it, so he is disappointed. Honestly, I feel pressure to have a genius as my friend.”

Toby was agreeable and mellow, so he always acted like nothing had happened, no matter how terrible he felt.

After hearing his description, Leo didn’t say anything, but he stopped drinking. He stared at the liquid Toby was swirling in his glass, looking at the lights reflecting from the clear mirror.

“What was Elie’s condition when you first saw her in the snow?” Leo asked.

At that moment, Toby stopped his action and glanced at Leo. “Why are you asking about it?” Then, he took a sip of the alcohol. “The snow buried her in the middle of the road. If her clothes weren’t vibrant, I would have run her over. Her hair and clothes were coated with a thin coat of ice, and her whole body was freezing. Her breathing was shallow, seemingly as if she was dead.” As he spoke, the smile on his face faded. Slowly, he had a complicated expression on his face.

At that moment, memories about that day flashed across his mind.

“Her face was as pale as snow, and she hugged her stomach tightly. I guess she must be trying to warm up her child. She is such a silly girl. I wonder if she knows she couldn’t save her child if she is dead too.” Toby’s tone was calm. It was as if he was talking about the weather.
