The tension in the air was palpable.
I refused to blink, and I forced myself not to gulp as I continued to stare at the colossal entities that surrounded me.
If they desired, they could disregard me without a second thought. They could fling me aside like the mere speck of dust that I was.

"We aren't just going to take your word for it." Aquarius' voice echoed, finally breaking the tense silence that consumed the room.
Her tone no longer had the aggressive and condescending tone it previously contained. Instead, her voice felt somewhat… soft?
"We are… quite picky, you know? These friends of yours… there is no guarantee that we will select them."
My smile widened the moment I heard that.
'It seems I was right, after all…'
It wasn't that the Constellations wouldn't be able to refuse my offer, but they simply COULDN'T.
