Earlier, while Carolyn was surrounded in the alley.
Someone was watching the exchange between them.
Even though what the girl was saying was silly and reckless, he couldn't help but admire how kind she was.
But he soon noticed new people entering the alley.
As the conversation between the girl and the gang of boys escalated, the boy subconsciously moved to step in.
But before he could make a move, he paused.
The girl that had entered earlier and the two behind her hadn't left the alley. They were still hiding. The other boy and girl seemed to listen to the girl.
Would they just watch?
He decided to wait and see what would unfold.
Even as none of them made any move, and even as the boys made a grab for the other girl's dress, he stayed where he was.
Instead, his eyes were fixed on the expressions of the brown haired girl watching with her companions. From his position, he could clearly see her expressions.
