Ella opened her eyes the next day after noon had passed.
She saw the dimly lit high ceiling.
She realized she was lying in the school auditorium.
Beside her were rows of beds, all filled like hers.
In between, doctors and nurses bustled about, occasionally a person dressed as clergy was seen.
Ella grabbed her throbbing head and sat up.
A passing nurse noticed her rising and went out of the auditorium, then returned with Wonderstein.
"You're awake."
"What happened? The reception…?"
Wonderstein laid her back down to rest and briefly explained what had happened yesterday.
Ella's expression showed disbelief.
The manifestation of an Avatar in the school.
She felt like trouble followed her wherever she went.
"Did anyone die or get hurt?"
"No. Everyone is unharmed, except Professor Pyrene."
She vanished without a trace.
Whether she was eaten, digested, or escaped, no one could tell.
