Meanwhile, back at Leo's house...
Ophis was sprawled lazily across the couch, her hair fanned out over the cushions, eyes half-lidded with sleepiness. She lazily flicked through the TV channels, her finger pressing the remote again and again, the screen flashing from one meaningless show to another.
"There's no fun at all," she muttered, her tone flat with disappointment, staring at a comedy program that didn't even make her lips twitch.
It felt exactly like before, back when she had stayed in her own empty house—lonely walls, endless silence. Sure, Leo's place had a television, some modern comforts, entertainment at her fingertips… but none of it filled the hollow space inside her chest.
She wanted company. She wanted to spend time with living people.
How could some people live like this?
This was too boring, too suffocating!!
Raphael had gone to sleep hours ago, too tired even to ask a barrage of questions.
So Ophis was left completely alone.
