Katie's back was as stiff as a board, and the fear was still obvious. I could tell she wanted to look back, maybe to see if I was still following or because she thought I'd kill her. I was going to do neither and my thoughts were too busy elsewhere to reassure her.
Another world.
Things really never did work out the way they were meant for me. It truly was one thing after another, though this time was beyond anything else. At least I had Aneva, though unhelpfully she had gone dormant just after I had started following Katie. There was something she wasn't telling me, I could feel it through the bond and I guessed rather than me confronting her about it now, she'd gone dormant.
