The Storm: Unveiling Smiling Town           

"Muh," Elena pouted, her gaze shifting to Pamela. "And where are you going?"

Pamela flinched, her mind racing for an excuse. With a forced laugh, she replied, "Uhm . . . toilet?"

"You're not going anywhere," Elena declared firmly, grabbing Pamela's hand and deftly attaching a vine-like bracelet around her wrist.

Pamela's eyes widened in surprise as she inspected the intricate design of the bracelet. At least it was pretty, but that was hardly the issue at hand here!

She attempted to remove it, but Elena dismissed her struggles with a nonchalant wave. "That won't come off your wrist until I say so."

"Guk. You can't do this to me! I'm a goddess, and you're just mere souls! You're out of bounds here!" Pamela protested, her voice rising in frustration. But a stern look from Ren silenced her protests.
