Kevin was sorting through the monster parts, tallying up potential earnings, when someone entered the room and asked, "What are you doing?"
Startled, Kevin turned to see Keyara standing there. "Oh, just sorting stuff," he replied. Noticing Viana and Noire were absent, he inquired, "Where's Viana and Noire?"
"She had some errands to run before we leave, and she took Noire with her," Keyara responded, letting out a tired sigh as she flopped onto the bed. "Surprisingly, she's quite attached to that pet."
Kevin felt a surge of pride hearing that others liked his pet and remarked, "Well, Noire is such a cutie, who could resist her?"
"Viana is different, you know that," Keyara replied, her expression turning thoughtful. "She doesn't warm up to things easily, but for the past month, she's been acting differently." Keyara turned to Kevin with a curious look. "Do you know if something happened to her?"
