Ava followed Jensen and started to train. Ethan remained nearby to watch, while Mason sat off to the side with his Holoband open, handling work.

The moment Mason focused on business, everything else around him seemed to disappear. For a stretch of time, the room settled into an odd but natural rhythm-one person training, one person observing, one person working.

Strangely, it all fit together.

By the time Ava finished, Mason was still not done. But instead of continuing, he simply switched off the Holoband and set it aside.

Jensen, meanwhile, had no intention of lingering. The instant his session ended, he left as quickly as possible.

Ethan took one look at Ava’s exercise-flushed face, grabbed a towel, and passed it over.

Ava accepted it and wiped away the sweat. “It’s already late. You two should head back and rest.”

Mason looked at her, half amused and half resigned. “You really don’t even pretend to ask us to stay. You’re that eager to send us away?”

Ava tipped her head up and answered seriously, “By the time you get back, it’ll already be very late. You both still have work tomorrow. If you don’t sleep enough, you’ll be tired, and that’ll affect how well you work.”

Mason tested the boundary anyway. “Actually, there’s a very simple solution. You’ve got so many empty rooms here. I could just stay over tonight and go to work from here tomorrow.”

Ethan glanced at him but said nothing.

Ava answered immediately, “It’s too far from your office. That would be inconvenient.”

Mason laughed under his breath and pinched her cheek lightly. “You really are hard-hearted.”

Ethan spoke then. “Mason, let Ava rest. We’re going.”

“Alright, alright. We’re leaving.”

As he said it, Mason bent and pulled Ava briefly into his arms.

Ava stood by the door and watched the two of them walk away before closing it behind them.

The moment the door shut, Mason said, “Staying over here really is a pain.”

If anyone asked whether Ava had softened compared to the beginning, the answer was obviously yes.

But if the question was whether she had ever taken that extra step and asked any of them to stay the night? Never once.

Ethan said, “Don’t rush. What are you in such a hurry for?”

Mason shot him a look. “Then why didn’t you stop me when I was testing her just now? Ethan, you’re really something. You want exactly what the rest of us want, but you still insist on acting all calm and restrained. You’re seriously no fun.”

June 8 was Asher’s birthday.

Ava typed out a birthday message, then stared at the chat window on her Holoband. The last exchange between them was still one from months ago.

Since leaving Capitol Planet, Asher had not replied to a single message she sent. She had no idea what kind of mission he was on that made him unable to answer even once.

After asking around for ideas, Ava had a custom necklace made and chose it as his birthday

present.

“Asher, happy birthday. I got you a gift. I left it on the desk in your room.”

On a distant planet, Asher looked at the message on his Holoband.

He read it again. And then again. And still again.

But in the end, he did not send back even one word.

“Ava, are you free this week? I’m treating everyone to dinner.”

The moment Malory’s message popped up, Ava went straight to the group chat and finally pieced things together.

Malory was dating someone now.

And since it was official, she wanted to gather everyone for a meal.

The person she was dating surprised Ava completely.

It was Lucas-the boy who had sat in front of them at that Calligraphy Club event and had turned around to talk to them.

Ava asked, “Malory, you and Lucas are together now?”
