Ash's eyes inspected the woman's demeanor skeptically. Uh, maybe this is a good sign? She seems pretty fucking calm, given the circumstances. Despite her strange behavior, Ash sat down in front of her.
She didn't waste any time.
"What's happening with Kaori, and how do I fix it?" Ash asked in her thoughts, as she guessed that Lumina could hear them in this place.
"... Two fairly simple-sounding questions, but ones that require some context in order to fully answer," Lumina looked down into her cup. "Has Magia ever explained in detail where we are at the moment?"
"Look," Ash sighed without any air. Lumina raised a brow. "No offense, you seem nicer than Magia, at least, but I really just want to get to the part where we go and save Kaori. So, can we skip the backstory here?"
Lumina chuckled.
