Madeline thought to herself, if she had powers, she wouldn't be a burden to her friends anymore.
She wondered if Emilio knew anything about this. Then again, if she did inherit any powers, he would've told her by now and he would have explained everything to her by now.
So if he hadn't told her anything, he probably didn't know anything either.
And also, what if she discovered she had some powers she didn't want to know she had?
'Gah! I should stop thinking about this now, this will only lead to disaster,' Madeline told herself.
With only her and Lily left in her quarters, she asked, "Now what am I going to do about you?"
She pouted, "I don't want to give you away."
One of the reasons she had never gotten a pet before was emotional attachment. She was terrified she'd grow to love said pet and be unable to separate herself from it.
And now, she felt that same way.
