It didn't take Lyra Smith long to accept that after falling in the sea and waking up, she was in the Lee Family's garden of Harbor City.
But it took her a much longer time to accept that her own brother hadn't come looking for her.
At the moment, both ends of the phone are silent.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Gregory Smith's voice comes through the phone.
Lyra resignedly accepts the fact that Gregory really didn't look for her. She sighs and says, "I'm still alive, you know. Hurry up and come get me, or I might die again soon."
Pfft──
Gregory's laughter comes through the phone.
He's laughing?
What's he laughing at?!
Lyra suddenly feels enraged, her voice going up a few decibels as she shouts, "I'm Lyra! Your sister!"
"Mm, my sister."
"..."
"When did you wake up?" Gregory asks her casually, like he's discussing the weather. He doesn't seem at all surprised that she's calling him from a strange number.
