Dwindling Sympathy (End)

Buzz!

Effie's vibrating Sound Tablet awakened her from her dazed state. She stopped inspecting the content of the Spatial Ring, stored it in her Spatial Ring and fished out her Sound Tablet. Upon channelling her Qi into it, she was surprised by the identity of the caller. It was the only person far from her that knew how to reach her.

"Hello."

"Where are you now?"

"I can't say that."

"Let's meet at the most convenient place."

"Whom are you with?"

"…those whose sympathy has dwindled."

Widening her eyes slightly at the answer, Effie nodded her head and calmly said, "Very well. Best of luck, Norman."

The call ended and she immediately went to meet Thompson. He was quite surprised when she suddenly came up to him but he quickly recovered and asked her what the matter was. She explained that Norman would join them, bringing joy and worry upon him. He instantly figured out that Norman was being chased after.
