Chapter 223: The Decision.

The five girls remained quietly seated in the room as they waited for Gray to wake up. There was no longer any trace of joy in the air as they played around. 

The mood was dim and dark. 

"When.. When is he going to wake up?" Lita asked with a worried look 

At first no one said anything. 

"We were hoping you had the answer to that..." Aurora replied with a saddened smile. 

After hearing her words, Lita's hands began to tremble. 

"You're right... Finding out about this is my job... It's the only thing I can do and yet..." 

*Drip* *Drip* 

Tears began dripping down her face once more as she said. "I can't even do it... I'm so useless..." 

The attention in the room all drew towards Lita as of that moment. Why was she crying? What was she so worried about? She was just a kid, she had no reason to worry about these things. 

It was then that they all realised. 

Powerlessness.
