Alistair's plan was simple but perfect for dealing with someone like

Celeste, who had basically lost her mind with hatred for him. He

intended to provoke her into action.

But when Caroline found out what he was planning, she strongly objected.

"I get what you're trying to do, but putting yourself in danger is

completely off the table," she said, pacing anxiously around the

office.

"What if something goes wrong? What would Eloise and I do

and Alistair wasn't about to play favorites.

The System Store only allowed each item to be purchased once per year, so with the Safety Card unavailable, he spent another 500 credits on a "Health Card" for Eloise instead.

It was already proving its worth. While preschool was typically a breeding ground for all sorts of contagious illnesses, with many kids recently coming down with fevers and coughs, Eloise had remained perfectly healthy and energetic, completely unaffected by the germs around her.
