35: Death & Snow

Agate eyes snap open and the owner sits up, breathe coming out in deep gasps. It takes a few seconds for Leilyn to composure herself, and when she does, she raises her head and looks around.

‘I’m back home.’ She blinks. Her face goes slack in sadness, her lips thinning. She lets out a dejected sigh, her chest constricting when it dawns on her that Chibi is finally gone.

She grabs her necklace, giving it a tight squeeze. She then shakes her head, pulling herself together. “Zoranne?” She looks up at the ceiling and calls out.

“What happened? Are you okay? You suddenly went quiet during the fight.” She fires out, slowly getting up from the bed.

“It seems that I was shut offline by the Angel you were battling with.” Zoranne explains, a displeased frown on her face. “It seems that she somehow sensed my presence and shut me down. I don’t know how.”

“Shit. Are you okay?” Leilyn asks again.
