"Then..." The manager was left unsure.

“Return to your duties." Forrest waved him away again.

"Very well. Should you need anything, give me a call. I'll personally attend to you." With a nod of respect, the manager led Annot away.

But Forrest's gaze lingered on Annot.

He pledged to uncover the truth.

He was certain he could verify whether she was Laura or not.

“Forrest, what are you up to?"

Upon her return from the restroom, Camila found Forrest lost in thought.

Spinning on his heels, Forrest turned his gaze to the voice's owner.

Upon spotting Camila, a surge of nervous anticipation swept over him.

He moved towards her, fervor tinging his actions as he seized Camila's arm, his words tumbling out.

"Mila, I've seen Laura. She's alive. She's not dead!"

Camila initially considered that Forrest's longing for Laura had led him to hallucinations or assumptions. She responded, offering a reassuring nod.

"I understand. Let's talk in private."

Forrest's eyes bulged in disbelief.

“Don't you believe me?"

“Of course, I do," Camila quickly affirmed.

“You're just humoring me!" Taking a moment to compose himself, Forrest declared solemnly, “I really saw her. This isn't a figment of my imagination. It's real."

Camila regarded Forrest, scrutinizing him.

He seemed certain about his claims.
