Secret Facility

Nadine slid down from Malachi's back as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. 

Once she saw the room full of people staring at her, she waved and introduced herself politely. 

"Oh hello. Nice to meet all of you." She said with a yawn. 

Instead of responding to her, the eyes of almost everyone in the room drifted towards Malachi and waited for him to explain this situation. 

The young man simply smiled wryly as he gave the woman beside him a harmless pat on the head. 

"This is a bit of luggage I had to bring back from the gate. Like Sei said-"

"Why am I luggage?" Nadine cried. 

"Cause you're a hassle. Anyway-"

"You are so mean to me!"

While the pair of them were arguing, Bianca began to feel like she'd seen this woman somewhere before. 

Finally, she started to remember. 

It was much darker back then, but there was no mistaking that it was her.
