Things got pretty tense; no one got hurt but it wasn't thanks to me."
Taking a sip of her tea, the slight bitterness was refreshing after so much sweerness on the tongue. "Then there's the incident where I was talking to myself while she was walking by, and assumed I was insulting her. Oh, and I fought with Astaroth, who's apparently her friend? Boyfriend? Who even knows – it was bad, at any rate, big part of why I'm moving, and it seems Flora has picked a side on the matter."

"Also... her sister died, over LongNight. And if Ronin hadn't revived me over the summer, maybe... there's a chance Seren could have been saved."
