The room eventually settled, like all that chaos decided to sit down and behave for five minutes.
Fiona clapped her hands once. Not loud. Just enough.
"Back to the table."
No one argued.
We all moved again, but this time it felt… different. Less divided. No more "this side" and "that side." Players and Zetharians ended up sitting next to each other like this wasn't the weirdest crossover episode in existence.
Kael dropped beside me. Zeke took the seat across. Zeref stayed close. Mikel leaned forward again. Luna and Suyoung were still whispering like they'd been friends for years. Keiji and Minho sat like two generals accidentally attending the same war briefing.
Fiona watched all of it for a second.
Then she exhaled.
And just… accepted it.
No dramatic speech. No denial.
Just a quiet shift in her eyes like she decided, fine, this is reality now, let's work with it.
