"So it's something similar to Twin Insight Mirror," Nymeria concluded. "And the person it was connected to..."
"Yeah, Maa was on the other side," I revealed, massaging my forehead between my fingers and thumb. "And now she knows that I'm with some girl. Things have gotten even more complicated now."
