Am I really?

Verli stands in the hallway, alone. She's calling ADDA's manager, Zhen Fitak.

"Hello? Manager?"

"Hi, Vee. How've you been?"

"Good manager, thank you. How about you?"

"I've been good. How's it going with Sena?"

"Ah, I've, no, we've been really happy."

"Good, good. How have you been as a leader? Is the group okay?"

"The group is fine, but I think Maei and Aloi are a bit too close for there to be nothing there"

"Is that why you called me? Shouldn't you have asked one of them first?"

"No- I didn't- I was just-" Verli starts stammering, obviously knowing that Zhen was right in what she said.

"Curious?" Isolde's voice suddenly rings out next to Verli. Verli drops her phone, scared out of her wits. Isolde's hand quickly shoots out, catching Verli's phone.

"Sorry, Didn't mean to scare you. Just overheard your conversation, that's all"

"H- how did you- how"

"Get here without you noticing? I guess it's because of where I came from."

"What?"

"Bad childhood, yadda yadda, all that stuff." Isolde waves her hand, dismissing Verli's question.

"Oh hey, Zhen! What did the production people say about Rai? Is it okay for him to stay?" Isolde looks down at Verli's phone, which she hasn't handed back yet.

"Don't sneak up on Vee, or just anyone in general"

"What? I didn't sneak up on her! I didn't do anything bad! I was just going back to my room after going to the bathroom!"

"Promise?"

"Yes, and I'm sorry if I scared you Lili." A big smile appears on her face.

"It's fine, I wasn't that scared anyways"

"Yeah, you were just scared enough to drop your phone right?" The big smile suddenly turns into a challenging smirk.

"Shut up, you little brat"

"You two, cut it out. Aloi?"

"Yes?"

"They said that Rai can stay, but his guardians are going to have to sign a contract."

"Can you send it to me? The contract?"

"To you?"

"Yeah, I want to see and read what it says for myself. That's fine right?"

"Sure, I'll send it to your phone"

"Thank you! Here, Lili, you were talking with him first." Isolde just smiles and walks into her room, closing the door behind her.

"Thanks Aloi."

"I think your question was already answered by her no?"

"It was, and its my turn to go grocery shopping today."

"Then get going, the members will be mad at you if they don't get their food"

"Yeah, they would be pretty mad at me. Just one last question."

"What is it?"

"Filming starts from tomorrow right?"

"It does. Very first thing tomorrow, the cameras will be switched on. Exactly when the clock ticks after midnight, since they're all automated."

"Kay, thanks. I'll go shopping now, so I'm hanging up."

"Bye"

Verli hangs up, then walks in to the kitchen to see what foods there are.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I was right! Shit, I was right. All right, this calls for a meeting with everyone else. I'll tell Yurai and Levi by mist. But I can only send a maximum of five words. Damn this weak form. A good summary... Meeting. Tonight. Problem. Vena. Dreams. Great, this is perfect. Aaand, sent. Great, now I just have to hope that they understand what I mean. What do I do, I should be able to use this to our advantage but that would make me feel absolutely horrid, damn it. Fucking morals. No no this is wrong, this is all wrong. Something's missing. What's missing? Fuck! What is it? Who would know? Layd. Layd wou- No. Why are you here? Damn it, I knew that neutral was weak. All right, I'll take it from here. Let's go find a neutral for you. No, there's no need to find one! We can make the neutral stronger! Hell, why didn't I think of that before?

"Lili? Are you still here?"

Just now realizing that all of that might have been a bit overwhelming. Sorry, I usually try to clear my head when I takeover, but I thought that the neutral could hold on for a bit longer.

"Yeah, what's up? Something you want me to get?"

Clearing my head still takes sometime. Just like a plane. Can't stop out of nowh "Oh no, I just want a hug" ere. You know what I'm trying to say? Kitten is much much better than me at doing these kinds of things, you know? The whole, not overthi "Sure, come here." nking and slowing down to think slow and logic "Are you okay?" ally thing? So much better then I am, I'm sorry if this is har "I'm fine, just wanted a hug from our pretty leader" d to understand but I can't really control it right now. I hope you're fine with that. Don't worry, I am starting to slow down. Now, reader this is the important part. See what I'm doing? I put my arms around her neck, then I tap it twice. Only twice, don't do anymore and don't do any less. "Okay, leader. Go out and buy food, you wouldn't want your family to starve." See, now I can't touch anything else, beacsue I need to put what I took from Lili into the neutral. "My family?" Isn't it ironic? They think their relationship is well hidden, but me and kitten already know. I think it's pretty funny. Oh, the most ironic thing is probably how well they match with each other, power wise. They don't know just yet, but they'll know in the future. "Mhm, bye!" All right, let's go into my room. We'll need absolute privacy for this.

Oh good, kitten isn't here. All right, let's get this over with so that I don't have to deal with you anymore. Sorry. It's not personal. It's kind of like having a horrible headache that you just can't get rid of. Those are bad, so I'm going to pass you on to someone who's made for the job. I'll make sure that this doesn't happen again but I'm also going to explain what I'm doing to you as I'm doing it, so that anyone can help to do it if I'm not there. I don't think that will happen though, but better safe then sorry. That is what they say right? Right right, you can't talk back, forgot about that, sorry. Let's move on now.

First thing that I do is call the neutral over. In this case, it's a part of Sxena Tasby that I took earlier.

Second, I take the bit that I took from Verli Twersky, that's still on my finger. That's why I didn't touch anything else.

Third, we need something to connect the two of these, which is where I come in. I'm going to use my mist to connect the two.

And then, ta-da! Fused together. The neutral's a lot stronger now. It might be more influenced by the three of us, you know? Because it's literally a fusion of all three of us?

Then again, I've never actually done this before. I've only read about it. Well, not really. I watched someone read about it, and then I read the blurb of the book. That's fine, right?

Yeah, I'm not very reassuring. Am I? I'm going to hand you over to the neutral now. Don't panic, but the next time you hear from me might be a bit unexpected, maybe even scary.
