Cassie opened her one remaining eye… however, Sunny knew that she could not see anything, still.
For a brief moment, her pale face twisted in an expression of pain and fear. It was only after she activated her Awakened Ability that it relaxed a little, betraying her disoriented state.
"Cassie."
Nephis called her name quietly, holding one of her hands.
"You are in the Ivory Tower. You are safe… have you shut down your mental network during the attack? You can activate your marks again now."
Sunny walked closer, lowering himself to the floor near the bed.
"It's just you, me, Nephis, Effie, Kai, and Jet here. How do you feel?"
Cassie remained motionless for a few long moments, then drew a deep breath and sat up, using Nephis for support.
Her voice sounded weak.
"My… mom?"
He hesitated a little.
"She is safe, too. But she… seemed out of sorts. So, one of my incarnations brought her to the quarantine facility — she is still under observation there."
