The Norden Front-1

Three days had passed since Tanya left.

Felix can't focus on his stuff. He is often found sitting inside his office, drinking apple tea to calm his nerves, but this time... He can't just calm down.

During work, his staff often caught Felix lacking. His attention is elsewhere. He also makes mistakes which he does not normally make.

One example of this is when he went into the jet engine's testing site. He mistakenly almost walked into the afterburner of the engine, luckily he was pulled back rapidly by his escort, Carl.

Another instance is when Felix was firing his gun. Although his eyes were not activated, he still should have no problem hitting the target... Instead, his aim was literally off, like literally off the target.

Another instance where he was caught lacking is during Felix's dinner with his family. Almost all of the time, Felix is the person who finishes his dinner first in order to go back to his projects, however, these past few days, his attention was elsewhere.

His family and his staff were now worried about him..Almost all of the time, Felix's composure is as solid as a rock. However, these past few days, he can't even put his full attention into a single conversation he had.

Naturally, his parents were concerned, so they asked Felix about what is worrying him these days, during their dinner.

"Son, what is on your mind?"

Hearing his parents ask him, he turned his attention towards them.

"Umm, it's nothing... I just had a bad day.."

"We know it is not a bad day, son... tell us, you can talk to us if you want."

Felix looked around the room and saw that his whole family was worried about him. His older brother has concern painted in his face. His two younger sisters are also at the verge of crying.

His father, although normally his face is stoic, now, his face is full of concern towards Felix. His mother, although softly smiling, you can still see traces of worry and concern on her face.

"I... I do not know... I really do not know what's bothering me..."

"Alright son, if ever you find what you are worried about... Tell us alright? We are always here to listen to you."

"Yes... Thank you..."

"Yeah, big bro! Tell us okay?"

Felix caressed his younger sister's tiny head and just smiled at her.

Felix immediately finished his dinner and went back to his room.

Inside his spacious room, he can see Goldy at his usual nest near his desk.

He approached it and caressed its soft feathers.

Goldy, seemingly satisfied because of Felix's caressing, snuggled into his neck.

Felix and Goldy stayed at the position for over 2 minutes, and immediately moved back.

"You stink."

*Screech* *Screech* *Screech*

"Hahahaha!"

*Screech* *Screech*

Felix and Goldy laughed at each other for a good minute before they stopped. Felix sat at his usual desk and just stared at the door of his room.

Looking at the dazed Felix, Goldy attempted to get his attention by flying towards Felix's line of sight.

Felix was startled but he knew that Goldy was just looking out for him.
