From a third-person perspective, Julien is acting in a really kind and considerate way. In contrast, he has no idea how Niana is feeling. His first thought is to see if Niana's feet are injured.
He has excellent hands, incredible dexterity, and Niana is now trying her hardest not to make a sound as he examines and softly massages her feet.
I need to suppress my emotions since Julien could perceive things differently if I moan.
Niana has a volcano-like desire to erupt in her heart. She is breathing in silence and developing chilly perspiration on her forehead. She bit her lips and gripped her skirt hard. Observing her response, Julien—who was still going about his business—thought Niana was seriously hurt.
He becomes more determined and agile as if he were cradling a newborn after watching that reaction! Niana hardly caught her breath after that!
He holds a license as an eastern doctor but is not acknowledged as what a true doctor is; despite this, he is very knowledgeable about oriental medicine and an unconventional method of curing people.
What he is doing right now is ensuring that the veins are aligned and that the blood circulates freely.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that her bones were not broken.
"Good, good! I can see here that there are no problems with your bones, and with this massage that I did, all you need to do now is rest your foot," Julien said, smiling.
“Thank you Julien, and I'm sorry I bothered you today,” Niana hurriedly responded while blushing as if she had been touched by the gods.
"No, don't bring it up; once more, it's all my fault; otherwise, you may not have been involved in an accident."
"Anyway, I know you haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind, may I go to your kitchen and prepare this food?"
The education Julien received was excellent, and he respects women. He is the kind of man who, regardless of their temperament or standing, doesn't take advantage of people. Because he is a likable man, many of his coworkers like him while very few dislike him.
“Sure, just walk straight to the left and you will see the kitchen,” Niana said as she nodded.
She makes sure her home is tidy just before Julien comes. Even though it hurts a lot to move about, she doesn't want him to see how messy her home is.
Her house was clean, to begin with as she really doesn't want her place dirty but just to make sure she double checks it, sprays air sanitizer, and makes sure that no undergarments are lying around.
Julien enters the kitchen, opens the drawer, and retrieves all of the essential utensils. While doing so, he noted that Niana's house was spotless, as opposed to his, which looked like a troll lair.
"Cleaning and organizing is a discipline, not a chore," she says, explaining why she is so professional and productive at work.
While plating the food Niana watched him prepare and asked: Julien how about your plans today?
He just answered, "No need to worry about it." He then added, "I'm just using it to make an excuse so that I can ask you out," and then he laughed!
After he laughed, he realized what he said. He suddenly paused and his eyes shook. His brain paused for milliseconds then processed so fast and his thoughts went wild. He curses to himself "Damn, damn you Julien you are not thinking! What did you do? Think, think! Salvage this awkward situation!
Because of how quickly his mind works, he just chuckled and said, "I'm just kidding ha ha."
Niana just laughed and said nothing. However her breathing feels heavy, her lips parted and you will see the sparkle in her eyes.
So let's eat, then! She receives the meal from Julien. They started eating as he giggled anxiously. While dining, they engage in casual conversation, typically concerning things at work.
They laughed at each other and casually talked. After a while, Julien began to clean the table and place the plates near him.
“By the way, I purchased an ice pack for your feet. Let's put some on after I clean the table,” he said as he was doing so.
Niana just nodded and asked "Do you want to watch movies?
Julien answered, "Sure, go play some. "
After he gets back from cleaning and placing the dishes, he prepares the ice pack for her feet. He began to place it on her feet and Niana just blushed and kept her mind straight.
They chatted and joked as they watched from their seats next to her. Their connection at that precise instant makes them feel as though they are the only two people in the world. They both hope that this will last for a while.
When you are having a good time, especially when you are with your special someone, time really does fly.
She said, " Oh! The sun is down already and it's almost dinner time, how about eating here for dinner?"
Julien then thought for a moment and then he answered "Sure, sounds good!"
"My feet feel great now, let me get my phone first so that I can order," Niana said.
She hurriedly stands up without knowing that her feet are still sore. When she gets up, she immediately feels the pain.
Julien, who is beside her, was shocked that Niana immediately got up, he didn't want her to forcefully use her feet.
To help Niana, he hastily sprang up as well, but he was a second late!
They collapse towards the sofa when Niana loses her footing and he frantically holds her. As they fall, their lips come together and Julien's hands touch a delicate area as if the gods are watching and toying with their fate.
His memory started to fade. However, things are different this time. Like when Vel'Krim first encountered him, it seemed as though he entered another reality.
Then he began to hear a voice. The voice is strangely familiar as if he knows it well.
The voice then said "Congratulations on unlocking your first memory."
