Celestia froze mid-step, her crazed momentum abruptly stopping.
"Huh?"
Her golden eyes flickered with confusion as she turned toward the voice.
Rose's mouth opened in shock, her dazed expression shifting as she followed Celestia's gaze upward toward Olivia.
Olivia stood there, her face pale, her expression trembling.
Her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling rapidly as if the air had been stolen from her lungs.
"You… too?" Celestia narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Olivia with suspicion.
The older woman visibly tensed.
"I... I..." Olivia stammered, her voice failing her as her thoughts spiraled into chaos.
She shut her eyes tightly, her hands clenching at her sides as she fought the overwhelming wave of panic crashing over her.
They know.
They know the truth now.
