Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Finnegan was in a tough spot. He knew he couldn't take any chances with Esther's safety, so he decided to hold off on making any decisions for now.

Esther woke up while they were talking. She got out of bed, walked out of the room, and saw her friends. She started crying. "Why did you guys come?" She knew Pearl would track her down quickly, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"We're here to take you back home," Pearl said, gently messing up Esther's hair. "Did anyone here give you a hard time?" "No, Finnegan's been really nice to me," Esther replied with a shy smile. "But are we leaving now?" Pearl was about to say yes, but then she remembered what Finnegan had said and suddenly didn't know what to say. Seeing Pearl hesitate, Esther asked, "Is something wrong?" Pearl looked uneasy. "Finnegan said... he needs your help with something. It might be risky, so we're still thinking it over." Esther was stunned. She had assumed it was something serious but said lightly, "That's fine. There's a chance nothing bad will happen to me." Esther was so easygoing about it, which made Pearl feel bad because she knew Esther was just being kind.

"You're too nice for your own good," Pearl said.
