Alden City.
Joyce put down her phone.
She hadn't said anything before because she was worried Felix would do something rash in Solmaris, but now…
Joyce heaved a long sigh, a knot of worry tightening in her chest.
After a moment's thought, she found a number and sent a text message.

Meanwhile, at Glenn Manor.
It was already 10 p.m.
Theodore heard a noise from the bedroom and rushed over.
Emilia was staring at the pale ceiling with her eyes wide open.
She'd had another nightmare.
A sense of helplessness washed over her.
She didn't understand.
For so many years, she had tried so hard to live her life.
Even when faced with countless obstacles and difficulties, she had never once thought of giving up, always finding a way to solve her problems.
She had done so much, yet her circumstances were so different from what she had hoped for.
She had tried to struggle free from this state several times, but now…
It was like the nightmares that found her every night.
Uncontrollable, inescapable.
Was this all her life would ever be?
Or maybe, she would never get better?
She was so, so tired.
"Emilia." She felt a hand take hers. Emilia turned her head and saw Theodore, his face illuminated by the dim night-light.
She didn't speak, just looked at him.
She wanted to smile at him, to tell him she was fine, that she would get better.
But now, she didn't even have the strength to lie.
All that was left was silence.
She was too tired.
She no longer had the mental energy to bear any of it.
In that instant, Theodore was suddenly afraid.
Although she wasn't losing her mind like before, nor was her reaction as violent as when she'd woken from past nightmares, she exuded a sense of utter despair.
