Fifi and Fiona were still relaxing on their own room.
Suddenly Liline appeared in their room through the wall like a ghost.
Fifi squeaked and jumped back, clutching her pillow again.
Fiona looked up calmly. "Liline?"
Liline's eyes glowed softly as she nodded. "Master Lucius wants to see both of you. Now."
Fifi froze.
Fiona stood up and stretched. "Alright. Got it."
Liline only nodded before stepping back into the wall, fading like mist.
The room went quiet.
Fifi stood stiff, ears drooped, her pillow held tight against her chest.
Fiona looked at her. "Fifi?"
Fifi didn't move.
"He wants to see me?"
Fiona walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah. Both of us."
Fifi looked down, voice shaky. "But… last time… he made me fight alone. For months."
"I know."
"He made me die in that world. Over and over."
"I know."
Fifi's voice dropped lower. "I… I don't like him."
Fiona crouched down to her level. "That virtual war was hard. It scared you. I get it."
