Chapter 104: B2: C4: Evil Little Sister 2
To Zarian’s relief, Bianca had joined the freedom alignment. She was free good +5.
She collapsed.
Zarian caught her. He helped her down to her knees gently. She shivered in his arms, squirming against his chest, not to get away, but to delve deeper into his embrace.
Para wrapped them both up, providing comfort and adoration with her cloak form. As expected, Bianca’s waterworks came, and they sounded traumatic.
Naomi bent down and rubbed her hand over Bianca’s head as the Cuban girl cried and cried. Zarian wondered if he should pass Bianca over to Naomi, but the way Bianca clung onto him suggested he had to play his role as the shoulder for her to cry on. Naomi kept petting and combing through Bianca’s hair.
“I’m so sorry!” Bianca blubbered. “I’m sorry! I couldn’t control it! I couldn’t be me. I couldn’t do anything. I was stuck in my head. And that thing took over. I’m sorry!”
Bianca transitioned into a rant of Cuban Spanish that was too fast for the non-fluent speakers. Para was just fluent enough to say some simple phrases and keep consoling Bianca.
Zarian let out a long, exasperated sigh.
This was what he wanted. The cost was almost too high. But at least Bianca was herself again.
