She froze.
Because another problem was waiting for her.
One that couldn't be solved with slaps, arrests, or breakdowns.
Only 13 days left until the Diamond Moon Festival.
And she wasn't prepared at all.
Ruby felt a tug on her arm.
She turned her head and found Karl still standing there, staring at her.
His face was a little dirty, his big eyes still watery from his earlier 'emotional breakdown,' and his fluffy hair was a complete mess. His robe had stains from the dirt where he had thrown himself onto the ground, sobbing dramatically.
Ruby raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
Karl's lips tightened into a thin line.
What's wrong?!
She was really asking what's wrong?!
Had she already forgotten?!
When Levi was crying in front of the officers, acting like a helpless victim—who do you think saved the day?!
HIM.
