Section 122: The Moment of Tranquility

"Joel, is she alright? Your friend Aria" my mum asked me. 

"Your friend Aria seems to be in a bad state" my dad added this time.

They're right, Aria is in a mess. I haven't talked to her yet, but her bloodlust must have something to do with the injection Kallen got. I should ask Kallen for it.

"Maybe she just had a bad day" I tried to convince my parents. "That's why she's in bad shape".

My parents didn't look that convinced, rather than convinced, they asked me more about Aria's condition. They're starting to realize that Aria is not a normal woman, she's quite a dangerous one in fact. This alerted my parents a lot, and they even started to ask whether I'm lying. I'm quite a good liar, but I can't seem to lie in front of Aria.
