On their way back home, Belle slept the entire way after telling Eli to drop her off at the temple they had passed by yesterday. She desperately wanted to see a monk there who could help her and Ceres. She needed to understand why she was alive with a foreign soul sharing her body.
Since she was dozing off, Neon and Eli chatted in quiet whispers throughout the drive. Supposedly, only Belle had wanted to visit the temple, but since the three of them were together, it felt like a waste not to go with her. In any case, they were all heading to the same house afterward. What was there to worry about if they made a scenic detour together?
"Belle," Eli called out softly while gently tapping her face. "Belle, we're here." She was still sleeping soundly right next to him.
