COIN FLIP

"LET'S PLAY a game," Neoma said confidently to the Goddess of Fortune. "If the coin flips in my favor, you'll do what I want."

The Goddess of Misfortune raised an eyebrow. "And if the coin flips in my favor?"

"Then I'll offer my services to you for free," she said, still unfazed. "I'm sure even you yearn for clean air to breathe. I bet you already know that I can give you that."

"The rumor about you being a living Aether has already spread in all worlds."

'In all worlds.'

[That's a scary thing to hear.]

"I've heard that gods— both minor and major— are all dying to get you to get rid of the impure air in their domains. Moreover, I've also heard that you ask for huge compensation," the Goddess of Fortune said. "And yet you're saying you're offering your services to me for free?"

"Well, deep inside, I'm a good person."
