Sylvia's POV:

Nicole woke me up.

After the conversation between me and Joi, the room lapsed into silence once more.

Joi had only showed any semblance of emotion when I mentioned Ashley, but she had remained silent most of the time.

She seemed to be very uncomfortable around strangers, even though I was the one who could bring her hope.

In order not to cause any more trouble, I retreated to the corner that was farthest away from Joi and stayed there.

I intended to sit here and wait until dawn. But the previous battle had consumed too much of my energy, so I unconsciously curled up by the wall and fell asleep.

When Nicole woke me up, I was in a daze. Only when I saw Joi sitting in the distance did I recall what had happened. Quickly, I straightened out my clothes and walked towards her.

Joi was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring out the window, just like when I first saw her.

Sunlight started to shine inside the window, making Joi's skin look even paler.
