“Fine, we‘ll talk properly tomorrow.” With that, Richard leaped out of the window. Arthur frowned, but he didn’t give Richard another look as if he knew that the man wouldn‘t fall to his death.

Arthur didn‘t feel anything weird about himself these days, but everyone around him noticed the changes in him. He had become more indifferent, and even when faced with things he should be angry about, he simply responded calmly without much fluctuation in emotion.
