Nikolai raised his head and saw Mona's worried face.
But, aside from his beautiful wife, he also saw Neoma's Wood Spirit— a wooden capybara sculpture— working hard building a wooden fence around the small Garden of Life.
[Neoma can control her Spirit even though she's not physically here.]
"I thought Neoma was more of a de Moonasterio than a Roseheart," Nikolai wondered out loud, and then he looked at his beautiful wife. "But seeing how Neoma can easily control her Spirits even in her absence, I guess I was wrong all this time."
