Chapter 23: Home

[She casually destroyed the door — the one you hadn’t been able to leave a scratch on — then walked straight to you and dove into your arms.]
[Your touching reunion couldn’t last long, though, as Lilith soon arrived.]
[Sparks seemed to fill the air as Selena and Lilith locked eyes. It looked like they were ready to go at each other. But before either of them could make a move, you stepped between them, trying to calm both sides.]
[In the end, though an argument did erupt between them, no fight broke out. And under your suggestion — to return to how things were — both reluctantly agreed. Selena especially looked indignant, but in the end, you really did return home... just like you wanted.]

[Alone in your room, the first thing you did was check your hidden notebook and the video records — and you were surprised to find that no one had ever entered your room.]
[Though you were still slightly suspicious if that was really the case, you turned toward your bed, feeling like maybe... you could sleep soundly tonight.]
[But before you could fall asleep, the door opened — and Lilith came in.]
