Hellbents
Chapter 152: Open
Ava stood by the window of her room, leaning against the wall that bordered the room. Occasionally her center of gravity changes due to the ship continuing to sway following the ocean waves, but the girl remains standing upright.
The purplish moonlight pierced through the glass and formed a bright geometry on the floor. He had a premature glitch a week ago. The question is, will he suffer again on this purple moon night? Or is the frequency of the glitch phenomenon getting shorter and he doesn't have to worry for at least two more weeks?
... Might as well.
Hah, anxious waiting only worsened his mood.
Ava finally decided to go to sleep. Even if at midnight he again experienced glitch, he will take it for granted. After all, he never had time to make preparations every time such excruciating pain came.
At least he can now conclude that glitching does not only appear once a month.
By the way, what percentage of synchronization is running?
Ava is still not sure what the function of the feature is, any information will be useful. Ava did not have time to see the results of the process because of a strange incident under Crimsonwood lake.
Come to think of it, how did he get out of the bathroom by himself? Or did Ellijah carry it? Siwon's? Given the power status of the little dragon, there was no harm in assuming. He had forgotten the awkwardness of being too focused on the secret lab he finally found.
... Ah, Ava had too many thoughts, her gaze was still fresh and did not show any drowsiness, even though she herself knew that she needed rest.
"You're not sleeping?"
Both of Ava's eyebrows swooped. Many times he warned Adam not to disturb him while sleeping. Ghosts do not play the role of humans, they do not need to eat, drink, or sleep. And since the arwag quickly got bored, Ava was the victim. Were it not for the "cancellation call" feature on her spirit necklace, the girl would not have anything that could threaten the ghost. Adam chose to stay quiet instead of being locked up in the empty middle of nowhere because of the magic necklace.
Well, maybe this time Ava let it go. He can't sleep now.
" ... Can't yet."
"Why? Your friend the monster tamer is safe."
Ava let out a long sigh, slightly laughing inwardly. The first time venting in this fantasy world, the listener is the spirit he just met.
"River .. thinks of me as a replacement for the younger sister who died of an outbreak."
"Oh."
"Hm, that's why even though we were basically strangers, he was protective. Until he left his hometown to follow me to Oranera."
" okay?"
"Unfortunately I was kidnapped and made a fake princess. Suddenly disappearing like that must have put a mental burden on River." Adam was the only one who knew that he was from another dimension, causing a relief that led to openness, perhaps his fatigue also contributing to the words that came out of his mouth.
And Ava can't stop.
"But maybe my departure was actually needed by River. So that the man is not constantly restrained guilt that actually has nothing to do with me or emotional dependence that in the long run will certainly destroy it."
"You're just running away then, either because you're distracted or you're guilty."
... Oh.
Ava looked straight at the translucent eyes of the spirit floating beside her bed. "Maybe." The bridge of the girl's nose shriveled. "But River's feelings aren't my responsibility, he-"
"Stay, you still feel guilty."
Whatisthis? Ava felt the water falling down. "Well, that's because ... River is a sincere good man. I won't forgive myself if I ruin him."
Too many people have suffered because of his presence.
