A manipulative orange offer from Arcana echoes in the dark. Vertin’s silver eyes snap open, breath hitching as panic sets in. She steadies herself, hand to her face, until her gaze lands on Sonetto sleeping beside her. Relief washes over her; she isn't alone. Leaning back, she watches as Sonetto stirs, turning to wrap protective arms around the Timekeeper before drifting off again. Vertin freezes, a crimson blush spreading across her cheeks at the embrace. She stares down at the ginger-haired assistant, finding her adorable, before mortified realization hits. Both hands fly up to cover her burning face.
