But to their utter surprise, it had only been a few minutes when...Luca suddenly stood up!
He stretched his arms above his head, arching his back, then rolled his shoulders.
He twisted side to side, cracking his spine, then bent over and touched his toes.
He looked like a man preparing for a morning workout, not a man who had just suffered a devastating failure.
He then turned around.
And the elves were shocked.
They had expected despair. Darkness. At the very least, a gloomy mood, a downcast expression, a shadow in his eyes.
Instead, he was smiling. The same old Luca. The same easygoing, nonchalant, unshakable Luca.
It didn't make any sense!
Luca walked toward them, then stopped, surprised by their expressions.
Their mouths were open. Their eyes were wide. Some were blinking in confusion.
Even Nyx tilted her head. Leona, Lulu, and Luna scratched their heads.
