Sam withdrew his trembling hand, looking back and forth between Arthur, who was so calm he didn't know what was happening, and the expressionless Eric.
He fell silent as well.
After a long while, Sam finally spoke: "Eric, last time you and Max explained exactly the same way, and then you two started hugging every day."
Sam still remembered that time they were even scolded by Max! The result was that a few days later, those two started hugging without regard for anyone else and making eyes at each other.
"This time is different," Eric said weakly.
Seeing Sam's still unbelieving expression, he fiercely placed his hands on his hips and shouted, "I said it's a misunderstanding! If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, hmph hmph."
Eric made a throat-slitting gesture.
Sam stood still for a moment, then calmly picked up the snails on the ground as if nothing had happened just now.
