A week before the midterms
[Rein's POV: ]
"Oh, it's connecting. Come, everyone!"
Today was one of the special days of the week where we all gather and talk with our families back home.
And by 'we' I meant Carla, Alf, Zoe and me.
[ "Hello, hello. Am I audible~?" ]
We had gathered in Zoe's room as always, and as always, Eon wasn't here.
And as always, the one that appeared before us as soon as the communication device had connected, was our dear little Anna.
And her friends, of course.
"We can hear you fine, Anna. Stand back from the crystal ball now!" As always, Anna was being too excited about this talk so Zoe was shouting at her.
And, before her shouts, even Anna could not do anything.
"It's fine, Zoe. Let her be." We couldn't shout at her like she does. We couldn't even be angry at her.
