Chapter 12 - A Phone

"A phone?" Hunter instinctively asked, his voice a mix of surprise and confusion. The girl nodded and responded, "Yes, this is brother Xelvion's phone." Hunter frowned thoughtfully. "Xelvion's phone? Wait... brother?"

The girl paused before nodding. "Yes, actually brother-in-law. He was my sister's husband, who's now taken by Sorrowful."

Hunter's surprise deepened as he blinked. "Why did your sister leave Xelvion?" he asked with curiosity.

The girl pursed her lips as she raised the phone to eye level. "She just told me it was because of this phone,"

Hunter froze as his thoughts wandering. 'What the hell? No, really, who the hell leaves someone because of a phone?' he thought, but he didn't continue on the topic. Instead, he asked. "What about this phone? Are you telling me it helped you see through the stopped time?"

The girl nodded once again, explaining, "I found this outside brother Xelvion's house when I was going to meet him. At the time, he wasn't home, so I took the phone with me. But I suspect this phone helped me, and I have a reason to believe that."
