"I'm here, my loves!!" I push open the dining hall door while wiping the blood off my cheek with a handkerchief. I didn't want to be any later, so I didn't bother showering—which means I reek of the blood from the torture I put Ren through. Oh well.
"Pandora, you took way too long!!" Delphina says, frustrated, but there's a spark of excitement in her eyes because I finally showed up. Zephyra isn't here, but I get it—eating is still a bit difficult for her, even if she can manage it now.
So it's just Delphina and Grimm here. But Grimm has this strange look on her face—the kind someone gets when they've done something VERY wrong and can't hide it.
I flop down into my chair, eyeing all the different dishes laid out, but Grimm's stare is really starting to bother me. I notice neither of them has started eating yet.
"Something wrong, Grimm?"
"O-Of course not, hahaha..." She sounds really tense saying that. I wonder what she's been up to. Does it have something to do with my body?
