Luna had a rough night. She kept having dreams then woke up from them before she fell back into another dream.
In her nightmares, Luna’s photos were circulated all over the internet, and everyone judged and condemned her. Some even went so far as threatening to end her.
By the time Luna got woken up by a phone call in the early morning, she was drenched in cold sweat. She picked up the phone with a throbbing head. “Hello, who is this?“
“It’s me, “ Theo’s voice rang out. “Nigel contacted me this morning and told me you were bullied in Sea City.“ Theo let out a sigh. “I still have some things to settle here at the art gallery, so I’ll only be able to go over to Sea City in the afternoon.“
Luna paused. “I’m fine. You don’t have to come over.“
“Of course I have to.“ Theo sighed again. “Nigel told me everything. He told me what happened at the cocktail party and the cameras you found in your room. It must be tough for you to be there all alone. Joshua and Alice are back together now, so he’ll definitely stand on her side. If I ‘m not there for you, who else is?“
Luna felt her heart skip a beat. She bit down on her lip and was speechless for a while.
It seemed that…in Sea City, the place she had lived in for 20 years, there was no one there she could rely on.
Luna finally heaved a deep sigh and said, “Alright then… Thank you.“ Luna was not as strong as she looked.
“Don’t worry, you have me now, “ Theo reassured her. The two talked for a little while more before they ended the call.
Luna set her phone aside and lifted her head to stare at the ceiling.
After a while, she heard someone knocking on her door. She opened it and came face-to-face with Alice.
