"Looks like a party, but I didn't bring a gift..."

"Can I come with you?" Wynx asked, sitting up slightly, her curiosity evident.

"[We don't have time for this, Hiro.]" Nova's voice echoed in his head with a sense of urgency.

"Don't bother yourself, Goldilocks. I'll be right back," Hiro said with a slight smile, trying to reassure her. He gave a brief nod and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"[Smooth liar,]" Nova remarked sarcastically as Hiro navigated the corridor, his steps quickening with every passing moment.

"That's not a lie," Hiro replied, slowing down his pace a bit as he navigated the labyrinthine corridors, attempting to figure out where he was heading to.

"[So what then is it? You're here, trying to escape; she's in there, unaware of your escape. Sure looks like a smooth lie to me.]" Nova said, her digital face displaying a mischievous smirk on Hiro's screen.
