Alita trudged out of the bedroom, dressed in an unusual yellow floral maxi dress. Unusual because she didn't like dresses, especially if she wasn't going anywhere special. Also, she didn't like the color yellow. She'd rather go with blue white or black.
So that morning when her eyes fell on the dress hanging there in the closet, and she instantly felt drawn to it, she knew something was off with her. However, she didn't ponder on it and just picked the dress.
It's been approximately five weeks since she and Axel returned from the three days fun spree outside the island. All through these weeks, Axel had only left the island twice. The first one was for a business meeting, and the second was for the ritual in Havana. This time, he stayed only three days and didn't return as weak as he did the last time.
