The Empire of Reimia (3)

-- Hmm, I see... I probably bored you with this conversation. Anyway, today is a holiday, and it's not the best time for such topics, -- Marey turned towards the hall again. People were having fun, chatting casually, enjoying food and drinks, and giving each other gifts. Someone, already quite tipsy, was dancing vigorously in the middle of the hall... How he probably stands out among all this carefree youth, with his heavy thoughts, serious expression, and expensive suit! Usually, Marey was proud of this feeling without any ulterior motive, but now he felt a slight pang of annoyance. Could it be that even on a holiday, he is unable to simply enjoy the pleasant flow of life, without any unnecessary thoughts, agonizing analysis, and futile worries? If so, either he is incredibly intelligent, or, on the contrary, quite foolish, unable to direct his mind in the desired direction. Marey drained his glass. -- Do you want to meet again before the end of the month?
