"Val...Val are you alright?"
Valaria blinked just for an instant, and the horrifying imagery of the dead Cheshire disappeared, leaving behind just an unscathed version.
"Huff..."
Confusion gripped her heart as she let go of Cheshire in panic and stumbled back.
"Val, are you alright?"
Cheshire, puzzled by her sudden acting up, gently pursued her, trying to calm the now terrified girl.
"Val, is everything okay?"
Even Damien, once playing the fool, got his act together and watched her with a serious expression.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Valaria, still weak on her feet, laughed it off, her mood turning sour.
"I think pushing myself too far in the games had long lasting effects."
Rubbing her eyelids, she whispered, trying to hide the wet tears forming around her eyes.
