"What…"
It was in the middle of a giggling fit with Sera that everything around me, quite abruptly, changed.
One second I was admiring my Script, prattling on about its beautiful diagrams and insights, and the next… I was here. A vast, plain realm of nothing but white, as if someone had completely erased the background of reality.
What in the name of Lady Narcissus?
"Sera?" I called out, my voice echoing through the endless expanse. "Hello?"
Silence. Not even a whisper of response. Just my own voice bouncing back at me.
Then, suddenly, a woman's voice, smooth, raspy, mature, reverberating, and almost… playful, echoed through the emptiness.
"Huh. Didn't expect that this would actually work," the voice mused, sounding almost surprised. The tone was a bit too casual—especially considering I'd just been dragged from my precious break time.
