Rita spent the better part of the day in the library, occasionally taking a sip of [Time Is Always Squeezable] to reduce the cooldown of her [Disguise!] skill. Though it couldn't compare to [Melting Time] in convenience, the situation wasn't urgent. By relying on quantity over potency, she could conserve her [Melting Time] reserves.
It wasn't until Nivalis's voice popped into her mind, asking if she would be back for dinner, that Rita realized it was already 11 p.m. on Blue Star.
Packing up her books, she left the library but felt increasingly hollow as she walked.
Had she really spent the entire day playing it safe? Disguised as she was and armed with [I Really Don't Have Time to Shower], doing absolutely nothing mischievous felt strangely unsettling.
