Perhaps it was because she didn’t recognize him at first? or possibly to protect his eyes from the light? Y’all we know she is DEFINITELY not dumb have you been paying attention xD maybe a little naive but not dumb
Im a little shocked as to how clunky this redhead dudes introduction was, he apparently has connection with two of our main character already yet his introduced by bumping into Milena seemingly on accident. But was it on purpose as he proceeded to steal the letter from the FL, but how would he know that she'd even come to get his info or that she would only have that letter to write on? And then she just so happens to bumb into slime monster guy in that sea of people so she knows to go save him. Also FL seems to not care at all that the letter was stolen, she just hands it back to him, what is that letter then, I don't recall if it was mentioned prior? Like all of this was so coincidental it actually hurts to read 🙄
