Freys was still a little out of it. She'd expected fills to act weird, sure, but she hadn't braced herself for Frederick's over-the-top reaction

Frederick typed in their group chat, "lis is back and even brought breakfast for Freya."

Greta, Riley, Cade, and Moss-yes, even the two who rarely bothered to chime in- all responded with a flurry of question marks.

"Don't scare Mina," Trent cut in, clearly trying to smooth things over. He didn't want them ruining Ellis's chance of wooing Freya. "Ellis is retired now. And Freya hasn't done anything to provoke him. Maybe he's just... being nice?"

"Impossible!"
