A few hours later...
Althea finally woke up from her unconscious state. Something she had never gone through in all her life.
Her head ached a little. But overall she was fine. She was confused for a moment until she remembered what had happened.
Without a second thought, she threw away the phone in fear.
She then looked at it cautiously from a distance for a few seconds.
Then got a stick and started poking it.
That went on for a minute until she completely calmed down.
At that point, she had realised that the device wasn't inherently bad. It was only bad when one tried to poke into it.
She hatefully cursed Muku for not warning her. But then again, he probably didn't know. And even if he did, he wouldn't have expected her to try it or face such a heavy backlash from it so it wasn't his fault. He was just trying to be nice.
But one question remained...
"Where did he get this thing?" Althea spoke to herself.
