he's socially distancing himself

—How so, you're not used to it? —Nira giggled. —Home is home, but people fall in love the same way everywhere, hee-hee. 😉 And what about our new guy, the newcomer? It seemed like you were looking at him with interest... 😘 And you, Bellochka? Is everything really so depressing here at the academy? 😢

— At first, Waylis seemed quite nice, sociable and always keeping up, but after his latest jokes... You won't think of him the same way anymore, the image is ruined. Their representative is even worse, though—who knows what he's thinking? To be honest, I'm a little afraid of quiet types like him and Elliot. James and Nage... They're just too much of a country type. Flim seems like a show-off. So, there's Iori, Miho, and Duke left, but they all seem to prefer communicating in male company.

— Heh, you know what's funny? — As Tong looked through the pages of the magazine, a wide smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen something very interesting. — If you don't count the queen, only the third one is married. The last one also had a man, but he ended his life in the war against Dithlind. They say that's why she hates people. — After sharing his opinion, the traveler suddenly realized that his companions might not be aware of foreign events and personalities. — She's basically a terrorist. I respect the desire to liberate her homeland from the invaders to some extent, but after Mukus left the scene, things in her organization went downhill. They say that she and Suitangi, another terrorist leader, conspired to eliminate all people in Eolia to finally resolve the issue. That's it. And half of them here are Refitei women, I don't know how they got into this publication.
