Ysabel raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You've been off your food lately, haven't you?"

Brittany used to love seafood, but now she found it fishy?

Taking a sip of her juice, Brittany was at a loss herself. It felt as if the smell of meat was amplified a thousand times, making her nauseous just by the scent, let alone eating it. "Even this morning, I felt sick just smelling milk..."

Ysabel, who had been through it all, seemed to catch on to something, hinting, "When was your last period?"

Brittany instinctively rejected the idea, but then she remembered that night in Imperial City. After a night of passion, she was whisked away to the police station for an investigation in Craneville and forgot to take her birth control! Could it be from that night?

Brittany clenched her juice glass, trying to suppress her anxiety, "It's probably nothing. I've been super busy lately, so it's not unusual for my period to be irregular."
