Willow spent the rest of the afternoon searching for Evren on her laptop, scouring the dark web and any other sources she could think of but nothing came up, not even the way information appeared for Ezrik or Navian. The complete lack of data only made her more curious about him.
He was an Ascendant, a second-year student, and yet there was nothing about him anywhere. It felt… wrong, almost too strange.
Putting her laptop away, she thought about texting him, maybe visiting him, but she felt indecisive.
Scrolling through the school media, she saw pictures of Ezrik plastered everywhere. He was as popular as ever, and the comments below were full of students professing their love for him. Willow cringed at the sight.
She looked at Zira, who was now laying awake. The girl looked exhausted and gave Willow a nervous glance, like she wanted to say something but changed her mind. She pressed her lips together, stood up, and went into the bathroom.
